What do you spend your wages on?

Out of curiosity I was wondering…?

My first wage went 1/3 in savings, money for car things, food, board for parents and a pair of headphone & moisturiser LOL

A 1400 pound pc setup, had none left by the end.
Food, bills, plane tickets, and whatever I need to buy that month e.g. toiletries, clothes
Makeup, clothes, food, charms for jewellery, arts and crafts

Wowcher
The normal boring things. Food, Bill's, petrol for car.
Oh yes a little bit of self indulgence. Clothes, lingerie.

My first ever wage I got [whilst still living at home] I bought myself a custom built PC

but those days are long behind me, it's now mostly bills and food :/
Rent, credit card payments, utility bills, petrol and food.
Everything else above £10 goes on the credit cards. :tongue:

I've been working since I was 16 and I still live at home. I'm not a big spender at all - I dislike spending money unless I really need to! :P I keep a monthly log of my incomings and outgoings and make sure I always have more coming in than going out. I only ever have more going out than in near the Christmas period.

Credit to you.
You seem very well organised. Your not an accountant by any chance are you?
As they have a dislike for spending money lol.
All on me and only me. :smile:
Giant crystals, art stuff, games.

Random things I think are cool or useful. I try not to go over £200 a month on random **** lol.

How much are those things. like 1k or something?

not worth it imo

my smartphone cost me 60 quid, it was 3g internet, it has andriod, it has a decent camera, it can make and recieve calls, it doesn't look dated

that's all you need basically.
i'm surprised at 3G though, it's faster than my old 4g smartphone.. ?

Thanks and no I'm not an accountant - I just like being organised... and using spreadsheets. :lol: It would feel irresponsible to ignore what's going on in my bank! I always check that what's going out is correct too! I see my money as my ticket to my future so it's kind of important. :P
