I set aside $800 per paycheck to spend on whatever I want and feel like it’s not enough

Edit: I’m talking about after rent, bills and savings, pure discretionary income

really depends on city

$800 seems fine on paper but i can see how you’re struggling with that

is that $800 after ALL expenses including transportation and stuff?

Yeah, but I live in New York so it’s $3 per train ride

if u have $800 of disposable income you can use for whatever then i think you’re just spending recklessly lowkey

no offense, but there’s ppl who live fairly comfortably with way less disposable income

may just be a matter of how you spend it and how you’re spending your time

drinking less alcohol, making big weed purchases every 3 months has helped me

brag thread

$800 from each paycheck is not enough ? Goddamn if I had $800 from every check to do whatever I wanted I’d feel like I’m ballin out of control

In order to thrive here I need more money

I think when I'm at like 80k it'll be fine. But ny is harder

I dont really buy anything I want at this point. I spent two weeks waiting to buy a 25$ clipboard for work

I think I have like 300 extra each week but it goes to savings or pre paying bills

First world problem

Essentially $400 a week, even in NYC that should be more than enough

wtf are you doing where 800 a week isnt enough

Imma let you in on a secret

nothing will ever be enough with that mentality

lowkey brag thread

Idk why people are saying 800/week he said 800/check

Look up Every Plate meal kits. Weekly boxes are $30-$50 depending on the promo and its 2 servings

Houses cost a million dollars

Shopping, going on 1-2 dates every week and clubbing. I don’t even buy food like that since I live with my parents

This, so 1600 total a month

whats ur rent like

What kind of shopping?

High end streetwear ($100-200 pieces) and random skincare products

I got two friends that basically do that too. One legit only eats out, does not cook.

They don't club but will spend 50 bucks a week on pinball plus whatever they spend on booze everyday
