How much are you spending on healthcare/insurance?

How much are you spending on car notes/insurance?

How much are you spending on credit cards (groceries, gas, entertainment)?

I don’t have a budget. I know I spend at least 10k between bills and bullshite each month.

Wife spends $2500 for mortgage and the rest of the bills. I have $500 a month in bills for car insurance, gym, and home alarm. I pay $1000 a month for my F-250 and about 5k a month for hunting, fishing, drinking eating out, and other random shite.

I take home about $2100/mo and am pretty content. I don’t have extravagant tastes. I enjoy the simple things in life. My car is paid for and my rent is about $400/month. I take zero government assistance. I treat myself to a medium priced toy(~$200) every so often. I don’t keep a budget and I still have what I consider a comfortable cushion in my bank account.

I wouldn’t know what to do with $10K a month lmao

I bring home like $4,800 a month. I’m single, no kids and live like a king, imo. Don’t want for anything and pretty much do whatever I want.
