Your budget (2 Viewers)

Random thread about people who live out of home and what the weekly/monthly budgets are and how they divide it up.

 

[Queenroot]

200$ each month

I freeload off people

 

[Squar3root]

food = 5 x $7 = 35
rent = $200
transport = $20/week (petrol) + $10/week bus/train = $30
total for week = $265
~end~

but i still live at home lol

6 months. Figures not always exact, because I'm a lazy budgeter.

^^ wow! thats so neat and organised. I usually write it down on the back of napkins and then I use them

 

[InsoulvencyReaper]

I should probably get my budgeting skills up to scratch

Living at home but most of my income will be funding uni and going to my parents (need to save some money to for my NZ trip in sept)

I live at home and make quite a bit from work. However on a typical uni week I won't spend on anything other than a weekly travel ticket and petrol.

awwwwww; my post were deleted.

Honestly; I don't mean to derail threads but I think of it more as "I add to the conversation"

I get paid fortnightly.
So in a fortnight - 50% of what I get goes to my mum as I live in her house - (in a way, payment for bedroom, water, electricity, gas, dinner)
$20 - gym
$50 - clothes
$50 - mixture of food/takeouts, petty expenses, unnecessary purchases
$40 - fuel

Interesting read so far. Just to see how differently everyone budgets and spends

 

[seremify007]

I don't bother budgeting.

When I was fresh out of high school, I just kept my spending to an absolute minimum, worked out that out of my $2k (ish) net income per month, I had about $500 left over after all my expenses (bus, books, food, savings) and then I rationed it out when I wanted to go out with friends for drinks/dinner or take a girl out for a movie/dinner.

Obviously 8 years later, life is very different for me now. I don't think I spend excessively and still have a lot of savings (which now sit in my mortgage offset account). But I'm grateful to be in a position where if I see anything I want, I can usually buy it without too much thought. Except maybe a new GT-R.

I happened to see this thread and it wasn't that long ago I posted here but funnily enough now that I'm moving overseas I actually do need to budget. Doesn't help that rent in Singapore is ridiculous lol.

I like how your alcohol gets so much allocation

Last 2 months in London:

cash, $1,665.00 (mostly for food and going out)
rent, $6,800 (for just one room in a sharehouse. Absurdly high because I had to pay two deposits, and London rent is mindblowing)
groceries and stuff, $479.15
transport, $564.25 (again, London prices...)
entertainment, $270.10
clothes, $371.85
toys, $179.45

I should probably budget beforehand rather than tabulating my spendings afterwards :\
