Someone wise told me once:
Earning much does not mean you can save a lot
Earning less does not mean you can't save a lot
It's rather how much you spend in relation to your income that makes the difference, since many spend as much as they earn. With a pay rise comes more expenses, new mobile, new camera, new car etc

i think i spend around $300 per month on just food but my stove is broken so i have a valid excuse!

Prob 500 anyway id say could be more or less

You're fine wraps!
I spend plenty on going out for food, luckily my income allows me to do that because I'm rarely home enough to buy groceries/cook.
My concern is more alcohol/drugs and expensive travel holidays that people use credit cards to fund.

yeah i can afford to eat out everyday too!

i try to make sure that i have a loaf of bread, bologna, cheese, mayo and mustard at all times for the late night hungers!

i mostly just pay my bills with my money and eat and drink 40s!

Not really... Living off EUR 3,700 (after taxes) for two people should be piss easy.
We do start every month by sending 1,000 to our long-term savings account, but even then it shouldn't be that hard. Not sure where all my money is going, but I suspect the Lego and the PS4 games have something to do with it.

Tough -
involving considerable difficulty or hardship; requiring great determination or effort.

$400-$500, depending if the month have 4 or 5 weeks in it.

like $100/week on groceries so $400
bout 50$ a week on entertainment so $200
say fill up my car twice, so $100
car insurance $100
phone $40
100$ a month on weed


So yea

lately, its been ~ $425 (car payment) + $300 (misc expenses/food/internet)
