How would you budget $150.00 for the next two weeks?

[Nocturnal]

This is including lunch and breakfast for yourself. I have $150.00 left over after bills to spend on the next two weeks until I get paid again. I hate being broke for a full week with nothing to eat or nothing to drink all day long until I get home.

So, I have roughly $21.43 daily to eat and buy whatever I need until two weeks from today. How would you budget it?

I really want to buy that new HP 2500L color laser printer. How much would you put away this pay check in order to try and save for the printer?

21.43 for 1 day is more than enough~

 

[Ns1]

10 bucks on ramen
30 bucks on beer
110 bucks on hookers

Would you save a few days here and there to spend it on other things?

Cereal for breakfast.

Lunch meat sandwich for lunch, or a 50 cent can of tuna.

Piece of chicken for dinner.



Should have extra left over too.

I would not buy anything but food and gas. I can live w/o any new gadgets or DVDs for two weeks.

Man I just cannot eat like that. I'll get sick or I'll give into temptation and buy a meal or something.

Piece of chicken? how big of a chicken?

First thing that ran through my mind was a little piece of white meat chicken abou the size of my palm:Q

150 dollar? I'd save it, let the money roll and buy yourself a beautiful wife oversea in about 1000 years

Jumbo Jack + 2 tacos for every meal.

I got to go with NeuroSynapsis on this one.

 

[Chaotic42]

Simple.

Ramen noodles-30 @ $0.10 ea = $3.00
Microwave Pot pies- 7 @ $0.75 ea = $5.25
Cabbage- 2lb @ $0.25/lb = $0.50
Fuel-15 gallons @ $1.75 ea = $26.25

That's $35 for 2 weeks. Without the gas, that's $8.75. $4.38/wk. It's possible. I've done it before. Sometimes you just have to suck it up.

Buy staples prez day sale items and starve. j/k

Buy 10 bags of different frozen veggies eat 1/2 the bag an for dinner and lunch $10
Buy 1 bag of frozen chicken breasts (about 8 in the bag) have 4 for dinner & lunch alternate days $5
A big box of oatmeal $2 you should have sugar
1/2 turkey Ham $3
1 bag of rice $1
10 lbs potatoes $2
10 lbs Chicken legs $3
Turkey Bacon $1.50
Pancake Mix $2
Eggs $1
Oil $2
1 Bag of Onions $2

Mix and Match things for Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner. Cook different way to add variety. $34.50 with a full stomach and money for a few other things if wanted.

The only drawback is that you will have to discipline and cook. You must also like chicken.

WTF, I wonder how people like you even survive, have you been rich all of your life or something? spoiled?

I make about $240 every two weeks, and I drive a gas hog car, pay $50/mo for cable, and STILL have enough money for computer stuff.

They're called GROCERIES.

Top ramen.. get some veggies that you can cook with it, add an egg everyother day.. buy some bbq pork too and you can add that in the top ramen too.

Being good with money has nothing to do with where ones lives.

Yep, I'm a mama's boy for the time being.

 

[Spikey217]

Ramen is the way to go. I can eat that stuff for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

 

[ed21x]

$20/day is enough to have 3 decent fast food meals/day

I always thought "decent" and "fast food" were mutually exclusive

I'm not really a mama's boy at all, I'm just too young and poor to live on my own.
