College Students, how much $$/mo do you spend?

groceries are about $70 a month.

WTF? You realize you're saying you only eat about $2.25 worth of food a day? Do you live on crackers and bread?

Well since i dont have a vehicle at the moment my expencses are pretty minimal.

Rent-$400 interner-$25 and hydro-$20

since i dont have many bills i waste my money on eating out and booze which i need to cut back on as I bring home about $2500 a month.

im about 2000 to. No truck payment, all inclusive rent at $620, gas about $120 a month. Food about 900, alcohol-movies-random things about $300.

Food about 900.

Are you eating steak and caviare every night?

Are you people making up these numbers?

One posters stated $70 a month on food; outrageously low (about $2.30 a day)

Now you state $900 a month? Outrageously high (about $30 a day)

//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif My groceries are about double that, and i don't eat out very much. I eat pretty healthy though, and i guess that isnt cheap.

Its more like 3 weeks worth of food but I can stretch a month. I may only even eat once or twice a day. I Cook all my food so I don't buy pricey meals, just essentials. I maybe eat out once a week if that but I don't count it as a food expense because its more of a recreational expense. Buying all healthy food can be a bit more expensive though. If I bought all my groceries from whole foods I would be looking at 100+ every two weeks.

I also only drive to go to work, parties, or out somewhere. I mainly ride the bus to campus to save on gas. I can stretch a full tank of gas a month if I dont leave town.

Not in college but 5-6k a month with wife and kids takes care of most everything.. Except all the BS I buy LOL.. In college I was on scholarship so my money was spent on beer and drugs and the ladies..

gotta be one fat mofo

When at school, I like to cook and eat good....When I go to the store I need to keep a budget, or else I dont watch my money

 

[CobraStang98 10+ year member]

My only year in regular college i averaged about 1000-1400 a month living on campus, but i was on scholarship.

My rent is 450 a month plus utilities. Gas is around 100 a month, eat out and cook, etc etc.

Im right around 1K on a good month. On some months it approaches 1300 if my hobbies start invading my bank account //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
