Just wondering how many people actually budget so that, occassionally, they can go out and blow some money.

DH and I each get $15 a week blow money. We've also got a small dining out/entertainment budget of $30 a month...good for one nice dinner out or two-three "fast food" meals (for when I don't feel like cooking).

It's not much, but it definitely helps keep the fatigue at bay. :)

Then we must be doing something very wrong here. We budget $150 per check (every 2 weeks) to be divided between mu husband and I and it is to be used as we wish. Lately, I've been hoarding my money for Christmas money since I don't have anything to spend my money on at the moment. After Christmas will be a different story.

I budget usually about $50 per month in my "other" category; however, if I know that we will need something extra or decide to get something extra, I just readjust my budget. This seems to work the best for me.
