...the following each month:

Gifts
Clothing

Just curious as trying to work out a proper budget!

It is a bit of a "how long is a piece of string" questions, but I would just be interested to see what you spend.

Thank you & happy friday! xx

Hi there

Mine is a yearly budget:
Gifts £330 -Already spent 200
Clothing £200 -Already spent 197 so i presume i have to raise this for another 50 due to lack of control in the januray sale :-(
Car maintenance- £0 My car is a bus :-)

Hope this helps.

Gifts - as needed but probably averages out at £40 a month

Clothing - £80 a month for 2 adults. We both have professional jobs and need good clothes.

Car maintenance - £100 a month at the moment but the car is at the end of its life and needs a lot of TLC. As soon as we're debt free in Sept we'll be replacing it. In past years it's been closer to £50 a month.

Our budget at the moment - and it gets revised every other month is

Gifts - £5
Clothing - £20
Car maintenance - £20

I normally transfer each amount in to an online savings account and use when required. I try not to spend it every month. As for gifts, I try and do on-line surveys etc to get vouchers meaning I don't need to use the gift money at all :T
