how often do you spoil yourself?

Question

Soooo basically i always online shop but I’m 17  so I know money could be spent really easily on makeup/clothes whatever lol but I have a job. i am trying to save up most of my money. Although I hope I don’t want to become a shopaholic 😂so can you tell me how much is a reasonable about of money to spend on yourself a month 🤨

Answer

it depends on how much you make and your other responsibilities. out of the 5k-10k/mo i make (freelance), i spend a little less than 2k. out of my expenses, up to $500 is purely for my own pleasure. i end up saving 3k+. 
my biggest expense is probably fencing but my parents cover it since i contribute by paying for our major utility bills. i would save at least 20% of your income. i often save more bc i don't really spend a whole lot outside of necessities in proportion to my income. 
whatever i save goes to a money market account/investments.

Answer

When I was 17 I was graduated midterm so I worked hard. I would put 120 hours on a 2 week check because I worked 16 hour shifts back to back.  I was a cna making 14.50 an hour and the only bills I had were half of my car insurance, my phone card, and my car payment which was most expensive of them all (220$ every other week) the rest of that money I would spend on myself. I would get my hair colored regularly, my feet and nails done every 2 weeks, I would go out to eat AND pay for whoever went with me. Because I worked for that money so I could choose what I done with it. Now that I’m not working due to pregnancy issues (19 now) I wish I would’ve been saving some money.
