Question Where does your Money go?!

Omg, you spend your time earning your money, you think you've got a good rein on your finances... you go to the bank and "OMG!" there's some missing?!

Where does the MAJORITY of your money go?

For me, most of my money at the moment goes on nights out. Mostly I mean the ACTUAL night, but for girls the spending for a night out can begin many many days before. For example:
---
Sunbeds - £3
Nails - £15- £25 (Once a fortnight)
New Top/Accesories - £10- 30 (Not every night)
Cigarettes - £5
Taxi - £10
Drink - £20
Club Entry - £5-£10

---
Tada, that can all add up. It's such a waste tbh though. Money going on pleasure and you never get the money back. What I WILL say, is I'm paying out money for good good memories.

My dad has been taking a lot of holidays recently and he said to me, "Jen, can I give you some money cos I feel bad I've been going away a lot and you haven't." I said, sure, but I don't want it literally pissed away on stuff. So now the luxeries I can't afford on my measly "salary" will be paid for by daddykins.

Horse Riding - £10
Sunbeds - £20 (per fortnight)
Petrol - £God Knows
WoW sub - £I don't read the small print
Trips out (like the cinema) - £10


This is all stuff I used to be able to pay for myself before I had to leave my job. God, I used to earn about £150 a week.. I wannit baaaack!!!


Edit:
-----

Doesn't matter if you don't have a job. Just asking, What is it you spend MOST of your Money on?

I'd say the majority of my money goes to food.

Computer Hardware... Thats about it.

I will spend a little bit here or there on people, because I'm somewhat of a nice guy.

Damn.. must be nice you guys..
A good chunk of my money goes twoards rent. Twoards a security deposit and first month rent. The rest either goes to gas coffee or random restaurant visits.
Oh and i just upgraded my puter, that took money too.

Daanngg.. If your girlfriend requires you to buy her things and spend most of your money on her i think its time to get a new girlfriend.

My wife has a more expensive hobby than I do, so I don't feel bad about my games.

I'm 15 too and I'm single at the moment so most of my money definately doesn't go to giving my girlfriend stuff. No bills either.

My money normally goes to the bank or the game store.

Most of my paycheck goes toward rent. Anyone living in Massachusettes knows about that.

I have been amazed by how many nail bars have been popping up and I know it's all so last year or years but I just don't get it. They are expensive for all those different effects but you all know about it. Why don't girlfriends just help each other and do each other's nails? Be brave, pull out the happy face transfer, get a friend to try it on, have lots of nail varnish remover to hand (and bandages and a phone to call the ambulance just in case) and just DARE TO DO IT! LOL. I'm joking a bit but seriously, why not just save the cash like that?
