I spend more money on food. You see im on a see food diet. I eat when I see food. And when I crave for food I would really make all possibilities just to have it and satisfy myself. I love buying chocolates and sometimes I spend much on junk and food when I m in the mood. I also love to buy fruits like appple, oranges and lately I bought 5 kilos of lovely mangoes which I enjoyed eating with my house mates. The second rating is on clothes and shoes, though i dont spend so much but its one of the things that I set aside money for. I love those cute shorts and lovely blouses, sometimes even if I already have lots of them I cant help buy when I see the type that I like. For leisure and other expenses like internet connection and many others. How about you my friend can you share yours?

i spend more money on food. there are instances that i spend much on clothes, bags and shoes and even things that i don't really need because i have this tendency to be an impulsive buyer. but i spend more money on food. i may spend money for travelling but once i reach my destination, its still food that i splurge on. =)

I love to eat!!! I spend almost 40% of my salary for food. I love sweets, like chocolates, cakes, ice cream etc. I also like pasta. Of course, I also eat fruits and veggies to maintain a balance diet.. :-) Another thing, I'm a shopping addict!!! Most of the time,I don't go out in a mall without buying something, from hair clips to slip-ons. Though, I'm not after for the brand, its the style that counts and if it fits me and if I look good on it. I spend a lot, yet, I still have something left for my savings. Afterall, thats the reason why I'm working, to save something for the future. :):):)

I spent quite a lot of my money on household expenses. Every weekend I will buy all the necessary groceries and junk food. This include tidbits and refreshments for my nephews and nieces when they come over for the weekend. My other major expenses are insurance premiums for the various policies which I am covered.

Most of my money goes to bills like lights, water, gas, students loans, and credit cards. Then food. If anythings left it gets spent entertainment like videos and games for the kids, or a nite out for me.

I like to eat at nice restaurants which costs money also gas is a big factor. I own a classic car which also is very costly when something is wrong with it.

I would say bills and food are what we spend most of our money on. I guess we have to live, right?

I spend most of my money on foods too and groceries. I want to be able to eat healthy food and not just junk or fast food. When going out, I don't like eating at fastfood but would really like to dine at restaurants with 'real' food. I also spend a lot of money on books and leisure. I buy a lot of books to read and I have to stock up on them. When they almost run out, I have to buy new books.

i am the breadwinner of the family and i know exactly where the money goes as my partner does the budgeting. our biggest expenditures include the educational needs of my kids, their daily allowances, our food supply, and the monthly household bills. these is where our monthly income is mostly spent.

I spend just enough money for our foods to eat, enough for my personal needs and also for our electricity and water. Well it's not just actually me who take care everything of our expenses, but I do share half of it to my parents just to help them out when it comes to house expenses at least.

Oh god what dont I spend my money on. I like to buy things I see at that moment. It is very rare that I go out looking for something that I need. I like to waste my money on going out and ordering in food, I like to buy alot of all terrain vechiles, video games to. Also if Im out with my friends I like to spread the money around and buy everybody Im with something. Dont get me wrong Im far from rich but in my eyes you only live once and you cant take money with you when you die so you might as well go ahead and enjoy as much as you can before your gone. I also love wasting money on vactaions and at the casinos those places are so damn addictive!

Wow, you must have lots of money to buy all those you see. You know I just window shop and just remember it when I have money but when I got the money the item is already sold out. What a disaster.
