These threads always make me realize my spending on food and entertainment is ridiculously high. I budget $750 for each and I rarely fall below that. I am young and single, but if I could get my spending on those in line, I would be swimming in cash. My main goal is to not run out of cash between annual bonuses.

I know the feel
I listen to Dave Ramsey and get really jealous of the debt free/paid off mortgage callers but then I realize how miserable they probably lived for several years and it turns me off.
I've made some small changes to improve things but I'll never get that frugal.

Yep. This thread got me looking at my credit card statements last 4 months... Have been 1500+ in three of the 4 months... (doesn't include regular bills)
Still saving a lot of money, but I have certainly spent more money than necessary. Alot of traveling lately and new(ish) GF costs $$$.

Mine fluctuates wildly. Some months I blow a ton on entertainment and various other expenses, other months I really don't even spend money.
I'm buying a kayak next month, but I haven't done shite this month.

Ya, I budget $700 for groceries and $400 for eating out for 2 people.
How this poster above is at $500 for 2 people and 2 kids is beyond me
I will say "Groceries" can be a bit loose. I count anything I buy there, which includes pet food or maybe the random thing that isn't "food" that I may pick up, but its 98% food.
