[quote=Anonymous]OP here.  Thanks for all the info.  So my intent was this...money used to be pretty free but do to various things with work, our HHI dropped.  We kept our savings the same so the amount of discretionary cash dropped significantly.  I used to do hair $270 every 6 weeks, mani and/or pedi every month in the summer a little less in the winter.  I would but shoes and work out clothes whenever I felt like it. I used to spend on make up, lotions, etc.  But now we don't have the money and when I entered in $300 a month, it wrecked the budget.  So I'm trying to get it down so I was just wondering how much others spend to give me the motivation that I can cut it down to $200 a month let's say.  I am in a part time role with Child care so my work clothes are jeans and sweaters, etc.  I go to the gym a few times a week so I like my work out clothes, so I was interested to hear other's stories and see where I fit in.  For sure I need to cut back on clothes.  What I buy currently or even in the past was mostly wants and not needs but I'm having a hard time with whether or not hair, manis/pedis, and skin care is actually a need or a want.  I think they are needs but it's interesting to see people only getting one or two haircuts a year, etc. or even not getting many manis.  I understand that people prioritize and that's all good.  I don't judge.  I also buy books and garden and stuff like that but that's in another budget category and that's OK.  What we are trying to do is determine how much I can get my salon budget down.  So the people with massive budgets don't really help, but it was still good information. : )  Nice to dream. [/quote]
