How do you spend your money...
Something that got my curiosity from that other thread, how do you miscreants spend your money?
Just for illustration, my monthly income goes thusly :
37% on rent
6% on travel
10% on bills
25% on debt
12% on food
11% on alcohol / going out / other abuses of my body
(all roughly, don't bother telling me it doesn't equal 100)
I haven't spent any money on computer parts, CDs, books, dvds or anything like that in ages.
What about you? (I don't necessarily want to see figures, just an idea)

Re: How do you spend your money...
Obviously I haven't included my secret donation to the Comintern.
p.s. Rather than getting into stupid "OMG you earn so little" type arguments, I thought I'd use percentages rather then actual figures.

Re: How do you spend your money...
All my income comes from loans, and about 50% of it goes on food, 30% on going out, and 20% on miscellenous expenses.

Re: How do you spend your money...
I started thinking about it and then realised that I spend far too much at Sainsbury's.
(No, I'm not fat.)

Re: How do you spend your money...
Too much on tobacco and alkohol. Too little on travels, althought i travel a lot, i guess.
Lots on food, and some on conserts. Some on things like cinema and stuff, but not much.
Whatevers spare, I use on things like books, spraycans, or other random stuff i think is cool. I get all those things cheaply, so that's

Re: How do you spend your money...
I spend too much heh, more than I get :/
30% on food
40% on luxury bills (internet, phone and sky tv)
33% on normal bills(electric, water etc...)
20% on going out
10% on bits and pieces - magazines, cds, books etc...
These are as a percentage of the income I get rather than a percentage of my total spending.

Re: How do you spend your money...
About 50% of my student loan goes on rent and bills.
I don't keep track of how much I spend on food so I don't really know.
I don't think I have any other expenses besides seeing the odd magazine or book.

Re: How do you spend your money...
If I spent 30% of my income on alcohol, that'd equate to roughly a bottle of vodka a day.
I think death might be slightly forthcoming.
