Your monthly expense?!?!

garyhgaryh · 04-10-2008, 05:13 AM

Well, I said I was going to start this thread on "How much money are you making?"

What is your monthly expense? All I really care about is your top 2 expense which is probably housing and eating out (for me). Do you own or lease your car?

Things I want to do to save mula: bring food to work, stop going to harbor freight, hold off on nonessential purchases (new 1080p sets)...

L~R~G nor cal · 04-10-2008, 07:03 AM

mine are condoms and ummm condoms.

TurboFan · 04-10-2008, 10:17 AM

you wish

House, cars, daycare, entertainment, in that order.

Biggest expense is f'in taxes, then housing, then car, (then women

). I won't say how much I spend each month, but it's well below what I make. I leased this car, which is a first for me - I decided to lease cause there was a possibility (and still is) that I might have had to move out of the country for work. I bought my last car (E46), paid it off within a year, and kept it for 7 years.

Top expenses are rent and car loan.

And +1 on saving money where you can. Bringing lunch, cutting down on Starbucks visits, etc.

AJerman · 04-10-2008, 12:44 PM

My first expense will be my BMW when I get it, and second my rent. Gotta love being single, living in an apartment, and having a roommate to pay half. Give it another year and I'll have a house to take number one.

nissan · 04-10-2008, 12:49 PM

Rent, student loans, car in that order.

If you're spending more on drinking than your rent or mortgage payment, you're either one hell of a guy to party with, or a serious alcoholic. I hope it's the former.

3onDubs · 04-11-2008, 10:59 AM

mortgage, cars, bills, food, entertainment
