Guys, how much money do you spend every month to get by?

1. 1300-1500€/ month living in Denmark

2. About 5000

3. 2500 is my “I have to pay these each month no matter what” bills. Probably spend some more than that on some food or whatever but that’s roughly what I spend per month on just bills/insurance/rent and what not

4. About $500month. Unless the car breaks down or I splurge on something I probably didn’t need. It is amazing what you can do when you put your mind to it.

5. It varies depending on what bills but somewhere between 300 to 700 mo.

6. Around 15k a month, but I have a mortgage, pay for health care and have two kids in college.

7. I’m at around $6-7k per month in expenses. Only ~$4.5k of that is essentials.

8. Fixed expenses:

   Mortgage – $2400

   Commuting – $300

   Cellphone + internet – $200

   Gas + electric – ~$200

9. What do all you big spenders $5k+ do for a living?

10. Normal budget items ~$4k
    Wife’s allowance ~$2k
    My allowance ~$2k
    Misc ~$3-7K depending on month ktravel, high-end shopping, dining out, gifts, etc.)

11. 1700-1900 on my bills that absolutely have to be paid like car and rent and the insurances that come with them. Electricity bills varies by weather.

    50ish a week in gas for my car, 50-100 for groceries a week. $20 for laundry.

    So 2k roughly I’d say

12. Being married i spend about 100% of my paycheck on bills and useless stuff.
