Nothing, SRS, so the money just piles up and I don't need more so I ask myself why I continue to work everyday and deal with women and other diversity hires.

Nothing at all. I don’t have the budget for anything else including savings. I spend everything I earn on bills, food and essentials like gas, insurance, etc. I can’t even remember the last time I bought myself new clothes or something cool just because. I was using an 11 year old laptop until my girl bought me a MacBook for my birthday last year.

I will say that despite the low income, I’m generally responsible with the money I do make. My car is fully paid off, I’m no debt crew, not even a credit card.

But still can’t splurge.

My regular gym and my gymnastics gym. Besides paying $$$ for them, especially the gymnastics gym, I spend a lot of my time there. So, well worth it. It's what I want to do, goals that are challenging and will be met.

Video games, a few subscriptions (nothing crazy), sometimes weekend nights out with the gf, weed/alcohol/nicotine-vapes, diet soda, cat supplies, usually $300-1000 on certain holidays, sometimes a few annual vacations.

Then everything else is either added to the emergency fund or going into a non-retirement investment brokerage account.

I can be a little more spendy with leisure because I have zero debts (paid off student loans and car loans years ago), and my 2-paychecks-no-bonuses-no-overtime take home pay is about 2.5x my cost of living.

A buncha chit. lol

Just bought new tires for the wife's jeep...there's $1500
My track car needs new tires and a few other mods ....there's $4k
Projects around the house & backyard....just burn the cash.
Regular monthly saving & Investment distributions....$450/week
Daycare's like $200/week and she only goes 3 days/week....still pay for the whole week though.
I'm going to need a new lawnmower this year....my $120 FB Marketplace pickup 2 years ago aint gonna make it another season, Will probably go rider again..them's ain't cheap.
There's a bunch of chit and something always seems to find it's way to need to be paid/bought/spent and my paycheck Seems to continue to go less and less far.

A lot of travel. Easily my biggest expense after mortgage/food/bills. But hey at least the flights are free.

I’m grouping in gambling with travel because I don’t gamble at casinos around here and it would be too depressing otherwise.

Bro you guys get ripped off over there

140 CAD here buys you a good quality oZ (28 Grams )

140 cad =94 euros.

Nobody here is paying 250 an ounce

Any ounce around the 200 $ mark here must be the highest quality available

I get my ounces for about 140 CAD ...and that's good quality to me .

So without doing calculations you're talking probably 110 USD for a good Oz here


And also it's completely legal here, and we have stores...but black market the quality is better and cheaper .
