What percentage of your budget do you use for entertainment? - Financial Management

JustMrsJoann · 04-21-2009, 06:45 PM

I believe it's 10% or 15%, but, I'd like to get an average on what everyone uses..

I've gotta get the budget done tonight. I can't keep stressing myself out over it!

Is cable/internet considered entertainment? If so, ours is about 7%. If not... maybe 2%. We can't afford to do anything, which is why we spend so much on cable... it's our only friend.

Thank you ladies! I wasn't considering cable/internet as entertainment, I was considering more shopping, eating out wise.

Thank you so much ladies!!

<5%, especially if you don't include cable

About 2% if that. Most of it is take-out when I'm too tired to cook.
