When you do your budget do you include blow money? (money you allocate for you to spend on whatever you want) And if so how much do you set aside for this?

Yes and yes.

If you don't budget in blow money, you will definitely blow your budget. It'll save your marriage too, if you're married.

Always, always, always (!!!) pay the minimums on all cards. You can snowflake a little to all or a bunch, but the online calculators I've seen recommend targeting one until it's done, then systematically moving to the next one until it's done, and so on.
