How much do you fritter?

[physicsisfun1]

Do you think £200 a month to live on for clothes, Birthdays, nights out, meals is ok?

How much do you spend on these things?

I know clothes aren't fritter for my one dd but the rest of the money just goes.

I have been wasting about £500 a month. Clothes fine but the rest appears to be takeaways, make up, stuff from amazon.

Grrr I want to stop. Is £200 a reasonable budget?

Watching with interest as we fritter huge amounts away every weekend. Justification for this is how many hours I work during the week - but weekends are ridiculous with coffee out/lunch/takeaways etc.

Seriously skint at the moment and needing to try a no spend month or two.

Transfer atleast:

£100 per month straight into premium bonds
£100 per month straight into a long term ISA
£100 per months straight into an easy access savings account for emergencies
