How much money is leftover to spend per day on yourself after all your bills are paid?

void

After I pay bills I have $850 left on one check and $1000 on the other. That's for two weeks.

The wife usually has $200-$300 after bills every week.

You can figure up per day per person. It's just me and her.

We make approximately $250k annually. Mortgage is $2200. Utilities $400. Car note $600. Kids /gym/memberships: $1500. Insurances around $500. I think that’s about right. Everything else is saved or pissed off over the year. Payments are monthly.

Single guy; no kids….$157 /day

Back of the napkin math says $1,400/day

I save somewhere between 30 to 40 percent of my net income. Most years it is closer to 30, especially when I take vacations.

I try to stick to a basic budget of 50-20-30.

50% needs: groceries, housing, utilities, transportation, healthcare

20% wants: clothes, gym, toys, restaurants/bars, vacations, personal items, etc.

30% future: investments, retirement, car fund, emergency fund

And that's NET income. The Government helps themselves to a 25% skim right off the top of my money so Dmetri, the money laundering Ukranian defense contractor and Qua'Neesha the director of Diversity Planning for Urban Development can live high on the hog while I get zero f--king benefit for my tax dollars.

~$200ish per day but doesn't feel anywhere near enough

I don’t keep track. I put all my bills and expenses besides my mortgage and car payment on my credit card and pay it off every check. Charged like $35k to my credit card last year. Cashed out like $1500. Pretty much get a free vacation every year just by using my credit card instead of a debit card
