It's Allowance Day!

October 13th, 2006 at 11:34 am

I love allowance day... I didn't get one as a kid (just got lunch money for the week on Mondays), so I think that's part of the magic for me. My own little bit of money to do as I please. Woohoo!!

Even better: I still had $30 left over from last week's allowance. It's actually probably closer to $40, but I've started stashing all my change AND my doller bills in a drawer at the end of the day. Can't wait to see how that works out...

At any rate, having $30 left over will more than cover my dirt at the gem mine tomorrow, and a fair portion of dinner. A weekend getway for the cost of 1/4th of a hotel room. How Frugal!!

    I to use an allowance system. I however get mine daily. I am curious what do you expect your allowance to cover. I expect mine to cover entertainment food clothing and gas.

    Allowance day for me is Monday. That's the day I draw my household money, hit the grocery, buy gas (if needed), and run my errands. What's left over at the end of the week is squirreled away as "found money."
    .
    The no-spend challenge carries a side benefit in this regard. I go right on drawing my "allowance," for the week I don't spend. By the end of the challenge, I have a nice little stash of cash. Smile

    sarah: my allowance also covers food, entertainment, smokes, gas, and personal splurge purchases (as in i want that green sweater!). major clothing purchases get budgeted into savings. actually, when i say food i mean eating out. if i carry my lunch to work, that comes out of the house grocery budget (like a perk for being frugal!).

    bookie: man, wish i had your allowance! wanna trade?
