Yup. Anything that's an unnecessary expense. Dining out, apparel, drinks, your 2nd car, etc.

Drinks and dining probably top out at around 2K.

On the flipside, I don't own a car.

Try to limit myself to about $750/month for restaurants/bars/clubs etc. I'm within my first year out of college and have yet to reach baller status.

[Mark from Plano]

All of it.

i try to keep it under $100 on weekends

 

[gort]

Too much but working to spend less. Signing up for mint.com has helped tracked how wasteful I am a good amount.

 

[neev]

I've been trying to keep it below $300.

 

[Joffrey]

About $1k 80% of which is toward eating and drinking.

i used to spend about 30-40% of my monthly income on booze, clothes, coke, and whatever else. Cut back when i grew up a bit, and even more when i experimented with sobriety hehe. Now I spend a LOT less.

 

[Merlino]

About 1K/month on everything that is not rent/utilities/groceries.

Same here. It's a great feeling to be in control of your life and money.
