    Default I Want More Money

    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.

    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.

    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

    I then pay my rent and the snowball effect continues.

    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.
