How much money do you survive on a month?

Question

Just curious as to what you all are living on (I think I could live on less than I do now.)

This question doesn't apply to those still living with their parents.

Answer 1

40k a month

im a professional rapper

Answer 2

$1600 or less

Answer 3

£400-500! I have very few overheads and live an extremely basic lifestyle at the moment as I am paying off debts and saving a lot of money! There are plenty of websites out there explaining how to live frugally and it is something that I am trying to do.

Answer 4

My family's personal expenses each month add up to about $1200.  however, my house and cars are paid off and I owe no one any personal debt.

This information is of absolutely no benefit to you or anyone else.  I'm going to plug a great book here, one of my favorites - "The Automatic Millionaire," by David Bach.  His premise is that most of us waste money on things we don't need or even want, and if we saved that money, we could accumulate a huge sum over time.

Your best bet is to decide what is really important to you - whether it is nice things, a nice house, nice vacations, a comfortable retirement, nice gifts, college for your kids, charity work, even not having to cook for yourself - most of us can't have it all, so figure out what is important to you.  Then figure out what you are actually spending your money on and allocate to the things you think are the most important.

Money really can buy happiness, but most of us choose to spend it on something else.
