5 % should be kept for fun that can be used for vacations, travel, clubbing ect. i have a mentally ill sister and been saving 60% of my salary so that i can take care of her expenses in future when my parents are not there

[yayyareaa]

Wow 30s to 70s big difference congrats!

[Michelle-poxy]

This put a smile on my face, good for her!

[shanaythornton]

That's what I struggle with, not giving myself money to let off steam, scared I will over due it, get off track, not meet my debt free date 🙈🙈🙈

[annhollis]

I think Dave was really excited for me considering the situation I was in earlier this year. I'm like the rest of you, I'm saving too.

How about you take what you tithe and send that towards your debt

[jenniferselespara]

[luminous]

They're all such good Christians that the phrase "blow money" didn't raise any alarm bells lol.

[Elrey]

50$ for fun sounds like netflix and chill and not much else tbh

[batesbbq]

This show is so much better now. Was great then but better now

[ronaltorres]

What happened to not investing until completely out of debt ?

[gabrielvevo]

Or 10 percent is a good amount to take from your monthly income for fun money

[righand]

No. Pay your debt off. Never know when you will lose that income.

[yellowannie]

BECAUSE I LIKE TO SPEND AND THIS ALLLL IN IS A CHANGE OF MIND/ATTITUDE/NEW HABIT. I PUT 30 BUCKS IN MY WALLET IN CASH AND THE DAY I'M ITCHING TO SPEND. I HEAD OUT TO THE DOLLAR STORE AND I KNOW I CAN BUY 28 ITEMS. THIS KILLS THE SPENDING BUG AND THEN I'M BACK ""WITH OUT "" THE GUILT :o)

[brandonhinton]

probably the minimum amount that doesn't tempt you to go off your budget.

[swn]

Dave's answer? How much do you make? How much do you owe? - None.

[roolyfe]

Blow money! She sounds like she does the nose candy

[wk]

Fun money? Being broke AIN'T fun. Learn to appreciate all the free fun life affords.

Budgets only work for single people living by themselves. I have a family of 5 so I just use a credit card and pay it off whenever payday comes put the rest in savings.
