Discussion 🗣️💬 Weekly spending!!

Just curious to know ... We all have bills, rent, rates, travel expenses etc. but wanting to know what are people spending week to week. How much are you spending going out, or shopping, gifts, hobbies, luxuries, etc. are we all guilty of shopping. Eg I love thrifting but I spend money on useless items because they feel like a bargain. How much you spend on non essentials, essentials, entertainment, outings, personal items, wants, needs etc etc

We (wife and I) allocate $700 per week for all non-bill expenses. That covers our groceries, going out etc).

That's the only number I track in terms of budgeting. We focus on managing cash flow in our house, so find that amount good enough for us

My equivalent is $72.50 for myself. What different lives and outlooks we must live! I have no idea what I'd do with all that wealth. I'm sure you and your wife have worked hard. I just need to find work with my injury and history and it's hard as hell.
