Just started work.....so not splurging yet....i dont think i am a huge spender..not stingy but thrifty..

You think you're unsafe but it's not over. Accept for who you are, You are not alone.... There is always beauty in one's imperfections, so do not go hysterical about anything you deemed to see not up to your liking..... I am not one of them....

I think that's fine if you have the earning capabilities to afford spending htat much.

I myself like to take time off to enjoy the finer side of life as well...

I think to put an amount is not very accurate as compared to a percentage.

For example, spending $1000 may seem alot for someone who is earning a 1.5k salary as compared to someone who is spending $1000, but earning 15k.

Well, it depends on the purpose of the question. If you tell me you spend 10% of your pay on food alone, it doesn't really mean anything to me. You could be really frugal, or you could be bathing in shark's fin. There's really nothing I can learn from to control my own lifestyle. A person may earn $10k a month, but that doesn't mean that he would want to spend more than he should on food (as an example).

Of course, it would have been more helpful if some people stuck to naming their personal expenses instead of including things like bills. And of course it would be more helpful if we all broke down what exactly we spent on, but that's probably too personal for most people. I wouldn't mind though, if someone else started the ball rolling

Still, probably too late to do percentages for those who stated specific amounts, as that would reflect what they make. Unless they don't mind letting others know how much they make. And I know some people are just itching to shout it from the moutain tops. heh heh. More power to them.
