Big spenders here?
So I just had a dinner with friends which costed me 100,-. Next week I'm gonna sign in for a new gym which is gonna cost me 50,-, and I'm gonna get some boxing shoes which will cost me about +70,-. Not in financial problems yet, but it's hurting my wallet seeing how much is going out. Oh, and I daily get 1 or 2 cup of coffee at the school cafetaria, which is 1,- for a cup.
What about you guys, do you spend money like crazy or do you play it safe?

100 on a dinner? whaaaaa?
I'm bad at managing and keeping track of my money but so far I don't spend more than I earn... someday this'll come bit me in the ass
I live frugally on a daily basis but I save and splurge on vacations.
1000 a month on music lessons, the occasional 200-300 on shoes, 10 or so on eating out every weekend, etc..
I specialize in throwing money at people.
I spend more than a lot of people would on certain things from time to time
I try to Save money sometimes but its hard because the money i need to spend on bills is so random, like sometimes its 200 in a month, sometimes 800 in 3 weeks
-I worked at King Soopers since September 2013, and according to my last check stubs I had made almost $6,000 total by May 2015 (actually, that could have only been YTD, so $6,000 in 2014...damn). I cashed all my checks during that time. I know that I bought a car for $2,000, and spent about $500 of my own money fixing it up. Other than that, I guess the money I earned there was spent on random crap, food, gas, and insurance.
-I opened a checking account right before I left King Soopers (May). According to my statements the total I've put in there is $4,500. From adding together the debit on my statements I've spent ~$3,500 since May.
I have about $130 to my name now.
I didn't include cash withdrawals, so I guess that's where the other ~$1,000 went.
So, I've actually made about $10,000 dollars so far in my life, maybe more, and I didn't even realize that until now, but I only know where about $6,000 of it went.
And that's just the past 2 years.

I hoard...lol. I have both a debit and savings account but I don't even look at the savings when I want something so I tend to keep a cushion in my debit account. But I also have the advantage of living at home so my parents pay all of the bills, food, and any other needs that I have (like car problems and such). And the main thing I buy is usually clothes but I almost always get them on sale so I can have nice clothes for the same price a person would pay for not-so-good brands.
I keep track of my spending, I spent an average of $120 every month in high school. Now in college, I spend an average of $270 ever ymonth this is crazy.
i never spend money. i am used to eating boring food, so i always have plain rice or pasta for lunch (when at school). i have yet to find something that i am willing to spend my million on.
I used to spend a lot on games and other frivolous items. I save quite a fair bit of my income now since there is nothing much that I want and also because I want to lead a simple life.
@betaboi101: Probably some fancy place where they serve such a small serving that will make you lick the decorations for such a big price.
I don't spend frivolously very often, but when I do, I make sure to spend right. No cheap garbage.
100 for dinner..? What'd you like order four meals =O?
Only spent money on food and some stuff. I tend to save then spend a big load after a while.
Past Week: $10-20 on lunch 5 days a week. Soccer boots $120. Star wars BF $70. Train tickets/myki $35. Maplestory $230 and petrol $40.
really need to stop buying lunch. that's the real thing that kills me
I'm not a CRAZY spender. I buy coffee every morning, I pack a lunch/dinner for the whole day (for the most part). I use public transit, so I don't have to spend money on gas/insurance. Some of my money goes into a savings investment plan every month. I go out with my friends every couple of weeks (karaoke/boardgame cafe/all you can eat japanese...), so that's like $25-40 at a time. I buy a nice $100-150 cologne/perfume every now and again.
I think I have a fairly balanced spending.
Oh man, I'm a big spender by nature. I like expensive, flashy things so much. I've gone to restaurants and spent $150, spent $700 on a painting I bought while buzzed. Hell, last time I went to a bar, it cost me $50 and I was only there for like 45 minutes.
i buy ps4 games mainly lol, going to buy starwars battlefront for $63 when big w opens soon.
idk spent 280ish every 2 weeks 4 8 months to smoke fml
