[quote=Anonymous]I did a quick back of the envelope calculation, and I think all three of us keep it under $4k each annually. I’m the biggest spender, and it’s maybe $5k. Kid (11 y/o) plays multiple rec sports and gets to do a week of fun summer camp, plus gets $5/week allowance for whatever junk he wants. DH has a weekly bowling league and a fancy cable subscription to watch sports. I do a weekly hobby class and travel for it once a month requiring gas and once in a while an overnight hotel. We aren’t salon/gym/shopping people. If jeans get holes in them they are replaced but I’m not buying new wardrobes or home decor each season. Hair cuts happen out of necessity to keep hair out of eyes. But I think a lot more counts as “fun money” than you state. We pour money into vacations, vet bills for our zoo of animals, and concert or theater tickets. We spend a lot on eating out, because we don’t like to cook. Our fun just looks different than yours.[/quote]
