newboy2011 Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Whether you are a high flying business tycoon or unemployed and claiming benefits, what does your money go on in a week? After you have paid your basic outgoings what do you do with what is left? Save or invest it, spend it on a hobby, go out, buy booze, give it to charity, go shopping........Come on forumers, lets hear what you do with your dosh each week! the kids, dam the ipad!

manofstrad Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 I genuinely usually have nothing left after I have paid everything.SAVING OF ANY KIND IS VERY HARD. But, I try to put anything spare on one side for travel back to Yorkshire cos it costs me about £140 in petrol to get there. It sounds like you work away from home, is that right?

manofstrad Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 the kids Can't fault you for that newboy, I tend to do the same thing. They're only young once and If I can make their childhood a good one I will do my very best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitehorses Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Nope, I now live away from Sheffield but my family are mostly all In Yorkshire. It's very hard if there is an emergency to suddenly come up with petrol money to get there or train fares etc, but that's life I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people move away to better themselves don't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carboy42 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 A couple of lapdances, restaurants, girls underware - not for me ;-) Electronic toys, Cars and fuel to put in them, Cigars, and pretty much anything else I can think to waste it on incase I am hit by a bus the day after.

Cyclone Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Presumably with a few variations (whether you have children or not, etc...) we'd all fit into some broad stereotypes. We (all of us) spend money on eating (out), travelling (including holidays), hobbies of various kinds, habits and socialising, repairing stuff and maintenance, toys and gadgets, saving, and so on. Only the specific amounts will vary and I doubt that anyone is about to give us a monthly budget to peruse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
