What do you splurge on weekly or monthly?

[didispunk]

Do you buy coffee out once a week or pizza or waxing or a new piece of clothing for you?

Do you get an allowance if so how much>

in odnt get an allowance, but every 6 weeks i get my hair done
and every 4 weeks i get my eyebrows waxed..

they are my splurges and i put a bit away each week so i can afford it lol

[Laranna]

I get my hair done every 8 weeks, my couple of hours of relaxation! No allowance as such, but it's in our budget.

DH & I also have a section in our budget for takeaway/dining out. We get takeaway probably once a fortnight, dining out happens a lot less these days.

we get $250 set a side a month.. he gets half i get half usually gets spent on the house or go out to dinner..

We have an allowance each, $100 a fortnight- I spend half of mine each fornight on my personal training, that is my splurge (about $120 a month) and the rest goes towards whatever, clothes, makeup etc.

We don't do the allowance thing, but we budget in a couple of games of golf for DH a month and I get my arcrylic nails and my waxing done... works well for us!!

We usually go to breakfast once a month (sometimes with the kids, sometimes without) which I prefer rather than takeout dinners.

Thank you

Chiro, nails and laser (until I need no more) are my frequent splurges. Most often it's all put on credit. The CC is always paid off in full each month, so I guess that's my allowance!

We have a 'play money' section in our budget which I tend to spend on clothes and sometimes nails or hair or makeup... We also spend heaps of money on health ie chiro, acupuncture, massage, that probably averages around $100 a week I'd say but that is in a seperate 'health' section of the budget. We also have another section of the budget for dining out cause we love to do that, we budget for once a fortnight at a nice restaurant

we're still finding our feet with this one! i've been feeling a bit blah - i didn't think about clothes or beauty treatments while i was PG or in the first couple of months after DS was born but the blaaaahhhh feeling has been building up. we've been trying to find room in our budget for me to do things like get my hair done.

ideally, my splurges would be hair every 6-8 weeks, eyebrows when necessary, waxing & occasional facials.

[Jesska]

we really dont have the money to splurge at all... DH is an apprentist so money is really tight.
one day we'll have splurging money though... only another 3 years to go.

I don't have an allowance. If I need something we budget for it.

What do you do didi?

[AngelPunks]

I have a "living" account - where money not for bills goes into - this covers my bus/petrol, food and any treats - at the moment hair is every 6-8 weeks so I budget for that out of my living account.

[didispunk]

We each get 50 a week to spend on whatever,

We have 100 a month on eating out.

So it makes it more exciting to think ok how will i spend my money this week.. etc

[~Hestia~]

I have coffee & cake every week!! That's probably all I do for myself since having DS.

[BrightSparkles]

I do a coffe and my eye brows when needed. I REALLY want to get my hair cut but ATM just don't have that money.

There are 2 magazines I buy that are bi-monthly & the come out on alternate months, so I get 1 magazine each month
