Do you take some of  your earned income and treat yourself to dinner, pair of shoes, movies or etc.
Money is funny most of the time, but I am trying to get better at that and budget my money so I
can at least buy myself something.

Unfortunately, most of my money is spent on bills. Whatever little I have left, I try to stash away in savings, especially now since I've decided that in a year and a half, I'm moving from New Jersry to Massachusetts to be with my boyfriend. I'll definitely be cutting corners in the next few months, but it'll be worth it!

yes,,,  sorry to say I do.  But then I don't have anything else to spend it on.  I hate shopping and I don't go out very much so bill and food it is  :)

Currently, and for quite a while it's been on bills and groceries.  I'm hoping within the next year we can be caught up enough to start doing a few fun activities.   A weekend away would be amazing.  Or a trip to see our son who lives thousands of miles away with a girlfriend I've never met.

I use to only pay bills and buy groceries with my earnings but since we got our house and credit cards paid off, we are living much better.  I am now able to save $$ for next year's Hawaiian vacation.
Have a wonderful day!

Seems all our money goes to bills and groceries. We haven't even been on vacation in years and would love to go somewhere.

Just paying bills with nothing left sounds boring and stressful, so I would fix that problem as soon as possible.

It's funny, but here we are on the Internet and opportunities are all around us to make an extra $300 a month which has been proven to be enough to change the lives of many people in that situation.

Pretty much bills and food but I do buy something here and there for myself - the idea was that the little I make online would go for things I specifically want or need but it usually goes into the bills and food pile.  Oh well we don't go hungry and our bills get paid.

It depends on my financial state at the time...
Sometimes I spend my Fusioncash money on frivolous things, but sometimes I spend it on bills and groceries. Right now I am saving up for a trip to Italy in May, so I am trying to earn all that I can for that.

If you are talking about what I make on fusion cash, I save it for some expensive item down the road. But it does seem as if all we do is spend on bills, doctor bills, groceries and or repairing the house which we knew when we bought it we were going to.  But we have come along ways on it and am not in debt. So cannot complain.

Yes, pay bills first, then enjoy life to the fullest.

The majority of my money goes to bills and food. Occasionally when there is a little extra I'll buy something for myself.
