After everything is paid, how much do you have left to spend on yourself every month?
I constantly worry about not being able to buy that or that, but then I end up buying it anyway. :erm:

About 1,000.00-1,200.00.
I like money. I buy video games, gaming supplies, I gamble, I dine out and I buy beer.

Enough that I can spend frivolously but not enough to feel like I'm making a decent dent in my debts. Fuck student loans.

Far less than I've made at several jobs previous to this one.

Will have more when I'm back to work. Right now, enough to eat out occasionally but that's it.

I do have a lot in savings though for my trip next year, so as much as things are tight right now, I have enough to be comfortable and have the odd treat, and then getting a big holiday next year is the icing on the cake, and a good form of motivation to work harder.

$0
That's counting video games, cigarettes and beer as a bill, though.
Ouch!
10-31-2012, 06:29 PM
Enough that I should be putting more into my savings than I actually am.

$1,000 to spend on myself, but currently in saving mode because the time to pay off student loans will be coming in a few months.

I'm a student with a gigantic £1,500 overdraft (I stupidly got greedy in first year, and as a result, I've had to max it out to simply afford to live.) I have a job though, but I somehow manage to spend every penny I ever get. When my loan goes in, I'm left with about 200 above zero :kakapo:
I then pay my rent and the snowball effect continues.

I have about $250 but I'm not gonna be touching it. :I
Where on earth do you people get this money?
After all my bills are paid I have about ~$100 a month to use as spending money. I'd be in the red except I'm deferring my $40k student loan for the fourth year in a row.
Honestly though I think I'm making enough; I don't know what I'd do with myself if I made more. Pay off loans and then I dunno. Give it away to charity probably. I don't need anything aside from videogame money.

Working in an industry doing things that conflict deeply with my personal morals and beliefs.
If I didn't have loans to pay I would have been gone some time ago. I have an excess of money not counting what I pay in loans and standard bills. I'm just trying to save for my future otherwise.

This, exactly.
Not enough.
I work my ass off, and I do SO MUCH, and I don't get paid enough. It doesn't help that there's NO respect for the profession of teaching. A mother just HUNG UP ON ME. Her son was wandering around my room and talking and arguing with people and completely derailed my class until I had to have him removed, and she hangs up on me.
The paystub does not show the compensation for all these efforts. :|

I'm on a fellowship stipend right now, but I still have hundreds left over every month because I'm deferring my student loans until next year when hopefully I'll have a permanent job. Once I start paying my loans off, I will have much less left each month for myself.

Enough that I can spend frivolously but not enough to feel like I'm making a decent dent in my debts. smurf student loans.
This, exactly.
Yes. I hate the thought of being in debt if it can be avoided. Sure I use my credit card but I never spend more than I earn.

I never made any debts in uni other than the student loan, and I don't have to pay that back anymore! :)

I was supposed to be limiting myself?
About fifty bucks or so. Averaging things out and that. I don't get paid the same every week.

I got paid today and received a nice little bursary from my University yesterday so this month I have a nice bit of spare cash.
Which has almost immediately been consumed by Christmas.

There is not enough money anyone could pay me to work with children.
The children I can deal with it's the children's parents whom I couldn't. They think their children are perfect little angels and they haven't got a clue. Even if they do have a clue they still deny it. Parents just don't understand.
And actually I say smurf loans too. Even though I don't have as much to pay compared to the average college student thanks to grannie's inheritance, I will still probably defer them. Government ain't gettin' my monies.

I'm fortunate right now to not have student loan debt or any other serious debts. I don't really have much to spend each month however, as I'm trying really hard to put a major chunk of my monthly salary into my savings. I'm trying to move out by early spring, so I'm in major saving mode.
With that said, I spend entirely too much on going out to eat for nice dinners. My vice. ;o
