Instead of buying your daily cup of coffee at wherever it is you buy it... Why not make it at home, put it in a thermos and take it with you? Saves you money, lets you get your coffee fix and teaches you how to make great coffee.

I'd sleep better without so much coffee. Down to 6 a day, roughly. Give or take 4.

All of mine are free however. Anyone know if you can buy green tea at supermarkets?

What I do is have 2 accounts, 1 for savings and the other one for spending. Every payday I just slap half of it in savings. What goes in savings doesn't come out and the spending acc pays for bills food leisure etc...

Working well so far got 6g saved up so far from it.

Lol.
If I DID get decent money it would go...

1/4 on alcohol/clubs
1/4 on clothes
1/8 on food
1/8 on travel
1/8 on crud
1/8 not spent

Assume I earned $400 a week that would be

$100 - alcohol/drugs(lulwot)/clubs
$100 - clothes
$50 - food
$50 - travel
$50 - crud
$50 - saved

...
Sounds about right.
$100 a week on clothes? that's $5200 a year.. **** you are gay kas.

I've spent this week:

$32.32 petrol
$4.20 coffee (necessary requirement to survive during 3 hour lecture periods)

Think that's all? Wonder how much a weekly bus ticket would be... Maybe I can cut down on my petrol costs...

Except it wouldn't be $100 a week, it's just impulse buying whenever I have a bit of money to spend.
And stfu.
That's only $5200.
A YEAR.
You spend more on basically anything else you tard.

None of the voting options match my situation :(

$5200 seems only a little too much for clothes, but that's assuming you make $400 a week I guess.

A year?
Besides, you can only get GOOD clothes for so much.
It's not like you can buy good quality crud for no moonayz.
Most of the clothes I want, anyway.
:C

I want to buy this Fox hoodie, it's effing sexy.
AND it's not that expensive.
It's only $80!

But other than that.
Hmm...
Yeah, it is a lot, though.
Maybe more like $200 a month, then, on clothes.
So $2600~ all up, is THAT ok?

I only wear the EXACT SAME CLOTHES because I wear all my clothes out SO QUICKLY.
Plus I have so many clothes I don't like anymore.
Wardrobes are full of clothes none of you have seen me wear before.
Because they're all ****.
And I buy clothes randomly and impulsively and think I like it but then I don't so it goes away.
And I do wear different clothes, just the same jeans because I basically never change my jeans, lol.
...
I'm ****-ing lazy, **** changing clothes.
