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. smurf student loans.
Far less than I've made at several jobs previous to this one.
Ummm
About £70-100
:roll2
Not enough.
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.
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.Quote:

Once I get to China I'll have £400 - 500 disposable income.
Ranges from around €600-€1000 depending on bills etc
Maybe $400 But I don`t live in my house or buy groceries yet....
This, exactly.Quote:

The paystub does not show the compensation for all these efforts. :|
Teach English as a foreign language, woman. MO MONEY, LESS PROBLEMS. :)
There is not enough money anyone could pay me to work with children.
What if they're thirty or so years old?
Absolutely not.
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.
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.Quote:

itt people with jobs
SUCKERS
After I put a paltry amount into savings and paid all my bills I have not enough left over.
And some guy was going to put a billboard in my backyard for $450 a month...still hasn't got it there =/
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.
:mad:
Yeah, Christmas will eat anything.Quote:

With that said, I spend entirely too much on going out to eat for nice dinners. My vice. ;o
