How much would you save if you abstained for a month...

[Jeff7]

$0.
Never smoked, no alcohol, don't like movie theaters, don't like restaurants, and I grew up in a place that was about 10 miles from any delivery radius, so now getting food delivered just seems weird, and isn't worth the added expense.

You need to find a girlfriend who won't charge you for that.

2 12pks of beer and a bottle of alcohol a month is about 15+15+30

i spend about $30/week on food at a minimum,

in total, about $150-250

well worth it imo

*forgot bars thats about another 100 a month

 

[sdifox]

for me? probably 600 bux if I don't drive and eat out.

 

[Linflas]

Very little. Haven't been to a movie theater in well over a year, generally drink no more than a beer or 2 on Fridays and we generally eat at home.

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Don't smoke so $0
Drinking in past month have spent $20
Haven't been to movies in past month so $0
Eating out is where I spend more estimated $80

All said and done $100 or so.

Smoking: $0
Drinking: $0
Movies: $0
Eating Out: $250
Driving/Gas: $200

 

[alkemyst]

chicks usually cover my costs, so I'd lose money.

 

[clamum]

Smoking: $75
Drinking: $140
Eating out: $12? I rarely eat out
Movies: $0

Around $230.

 

[waggy]

smoking: 0
drinking: maybe $20
eating out: $80-100 (family of 4)
movies: $16 (netflix!)
driving: i don't drive much anymore. so not sure i would save anything
so not very much.

Funny... I've been abstaining from buying unneeded computer parts so I have more money for food and alcohol. Different priorities, I guess 🙂

 

[BlackTigers]

Hmm...
Gas: Probably about $10 a week more than I need to use. $40 a month.
Eating out: I probably hit up TB/Wendy's late at night twice a week. Add in the times I go eat with friends, and I'm up to probably $60 a month.
Movies: Twice a month I'd guess, $20.

Maybe $120 a month. That's actually quite a bit for a high school student, lol./

 

[Nitemare]

cigs 0
alcohol 50
movies 0
eating out 250

So about 300 bucks a month, no new computer parts, nothing worth upgrading at the moment.

Holy crap? Belgian beer?

Alcohol and cigs are heavily taxed over here. I pay ~$12 - 18 for a dozen beers. 25 smokes costs $13.50. So I guess I overestimated by about $15.

Edit - I should mention that that's for very cheap beer. Decent beer is on the order of $18 - $25 / doz.

Do you live in Canada?

 

[SlitheryDee]

$120. ~3 games or some kickass memory.

 

[SpunkyJones]

Not much, I don't smoke, rarely drink, haven't been to the movies since June, and get take out once per week. So maybe $100?

 

[bignateyk]

umm..

Alcohol purchases for home/month
~$50 beer
~$100 wine
~$50 liquor

Bar expenses:
~$50/month (bars are cheap here... it's a college town)

Eating out:
$300/month

I could probably save $600 a month if I cut back on all my social expeditures...
