i should really keep track of this if i ever actually move out, which could be a reality soon depending on how things pan out with this new boy...

i get like $400/week probably on average:
~$20/week - train/bus tix
~$48/week - Timezone
~$49/month - phone
~$30-40/week - cigs (50g + normally a pack a week that i always end up buying while drunk and going thru that night/next day)
~durgs (i'd say like $70 a month but it's always spend heaps at once then nothing for the next few weeks so it's hard to say exactly. currently need to get some greeeeeeen!)
~$50/week - food
~anywhere from $20-$100/week - booze


rent would be $140/week on top of all this, omg i will go through my savings like that. hopefully able to get centrelink something or rather if i do move out tho, must look into this. this doesn't even include random clothing/book/other purchases, and ideally i'd like to have some kind of internet when i move out...

god i am a terrible person.

same here i can't figure it out either. my dad reckons our dripping shower might've led to increased hot water usage and hence the massive bill :S

Because I often stay back late at University (till about 9-10pm) to do my own study, I often spend more money on food.

On average, I spend ~ $30 per day on food.

I impulse buy occasionally at stores, and they range from board games to lollies. I don't really spend much other then on food.
