What is one thing that you spend a lot of money on?
 
I guess it depends on the definition of a lot, obviously bills, etc. but maybe the things I spend more than I need to on are coffee and shoes.
 
Rent and utilities. It's like 3/5 of my paycheck. The rest is for buying groceries, gas and clothing. I am however able to save/invest some 10% of my paycheck, so that's nice, I guess.
 
Savings. I save around 15% of my paycheck every month.

I was really into getting a new pc this year but prizes are really sky high and it doesn't seem to be a very good idea to spend over 2000$ just to play games since what i do for a living my pc is more than enough.
 
I spend most of my money on bills.

As far as something fun, I spend my money on books to read.
 
I'll not say bills, because I think that's pretty much a given for most of us..

Leisure items, I still spend a lot on videogames - as well as my website.
 
Bills mostly, when you think that how much you spent in your gaming rig setup it's nothing to bills. I mean $3000 all at once on a new gaming PC and yet you pay your bills every month that goes on for years that adds up to over $100K or more.

Just paying to keep the site running is bad enough and phone bills. I have spent $1500 or more on add-ons and plugins and whatnot for flight sims.
 
My site - I would have said my PC or games but I'm not constantly buying parts or games all the time, whereas there's always something you could invest in with a site.
 
Usually food, I like to try to eat out once or twice a week at a minimum just to divvy up the monotony of what I'm consuming on a regular basis. I try to pay my bills up front as soon as I'm paid and then try to save some after that. I was investing in my community but life came first recently.

I'm the same way. Necessities come first. Rent, utilities, gas, car insurance, and food throughout the month. I've been putting back 200 or more dollars into my savings account lately. I HATE being broke. So I like to have something in case of emergencies.
 
Organic food for us. Followed by monthly bills. We do have a savings account but we are fortunate as we don't have debt.
 
Just paid off my £180 gaming keyboard :P

Now waiting for GoXLR to be in stock
 
Right now, a lot of things. But I think the things I always feel guilty about after spending money on it is takeaways. Even though I don't have it a lot compared to some, I definitely think I should reduce my spending on them.
 
I definitely think I should reduce my spending on them.

Easier said than done. I always tell myself that I'm going to try to save. I think saying that to myself just sets me up for failure. Maybe if I don't think about saving money it'll happen.
 
GOXLR is next on my list, we all know how much that can be....
 
Also, adidas sneakers is my passion, i always pick the most rare drop to buy (never less than $120 a pair) and i've been doing it since 2015.

And i still have pairs that i don't own and want it so bad.. i constantly check ebay for those.
 
I spend most of my money on the basic needs of the family. I am wiser when using it than before.
