I try to live off of $100 a week at most if I can.
Do you think that is too much, or not enough? Please consider I have to buy gas every week for work ($25 - $30 for gas), and food with that.

Make sacrifices early on in life and watch your net worth grow and when you are 40 you will be able to do what you want.But for now clip coupons eat at home bring lunch to work and just skim buy and don't worry about keeping up with the baby bomer jonses,because most of them are broke anyway.Just think if all the baby boomers had their credit cards taking away from them,they would not be such showoffs then would they.

The answer isn't so much of a dollar amount as a percentage of your income. Whether you earn $10,000 a year or $100,000 a year should determine a good amount to pay bills with, save, and spend. The ideal budget is a balance of needs first and then of wants. Treat yourself but make sure you can afford it.

That sounds about right for me / us too. After all the bills are paid and investments added to, a $100 a week sounds about right.
I am a hoarder and a very low maintenance kinda gal.

this is good... I'm glad you try to stay discipline. I tend not to alot for myself except just spend on what ever i think is ok at the time or depending how much $ I have left from family. If you're single.. i say just have fun and try not to go overboard a little reserve would be nice. If you have family... hummm I guess I don't need to explain much. $100 sounds reasonable to me.

Whatever it takes to enjoy myself for the week! B it 100 to 500, it's a matter of need, want and desire! It's my money, I earned and show for it, dude...But I take care of business first and foremost, that's all that is important.

It's a question of lifestyle. I would instead address it as a percentage of your income after taxes. So, spending 40% of your income after taxes might be prudent, while spending 80% may not.
