Do You Give Yourself Money to Blow Each Month?

[Amy Bass]

Do you have any amount that you budget in to spend on what ever you want? If so, what do you use it for?

*Very* important to do this, in my opinion. If there are "fun things" even if just like a rented movie and popcorn on a Saturday night, it makes it a lot easier to keep with a program to get out of debt. As soon as it goes to "we can't afford that $5 movie rental" things suddenly get a lot more tense.

It all depends on what you want to put the money into. I try not to go the theater too much though just because if you're going as a couple it gets very expensive very quickly and the enjoyment is gone after just two hours tops. They are great at ripping you off there.
