I think most of my salary goes to cosmetics. Not the make-up but the skin care line. I am so vain it makes me feel guilty but I cannot make myself stop. :) These days I have lessened my expenses by choosing the cheaper stuff over the more expensive ones. What about you? Where does your salary go? :)

Well, food is good. :) Vet bills? What kind of pet do you have? I do hope your pet stays healthy! Thanks for sharing!

Back then, the majority of my pets were guinea pigs... all special needs or seniors.
Now I have some foster guinea pigs, 2 rabbits, and 3 finches. One of my rabbits is a senior (13 years old) and I suppose the finches are getting old for finches. But knock on wood, no one special needs here right now.

I think most of our salary goes to the medicines expenses. We've been married for almost 2 years now but still have no children. We are striving for it, and longing for babies in our house 
We've been consulting the doctor and he gives us prescription every month, which hmmm, so many medicines we should take. By this our medical expenses is high. Well, no pain no gain... 
I just hope that the medicines will work... Thanks.

Well, my salary goes on shoes, clothes, more shoes, make up and then more shoes!
The hubby's salary goes on rent, bills and my shoes!
I think I have a problem, perhaps we should have a shoe addicts anonymous meeting going on here!

Finally someone like me. Except you are into shoes and I am into cosmetics. I also like bags but I try not to spend my money on bags too often, besides it's not like I can afford to buy a new bag every month. So what kind of shoes do you like? :) Aren't husbands handy? :) Paying all the bills and still buying stuff for the wife! :)

WOW!! How old are you??
The majority of my salary goes towards rent, car payments, and car insurance. Oh, and let's not forget the dreaded TAXES! About 1/4 of my paycheck goes towards taxes and I hate it! I could go on and on and on but I will stop now!

I'm 28 hehe... Most of my salary goes to taxes too but after taxes it goes to cosmetics. I save some of my money of course. :) But my splurge every month will have to be cosmetics. I am really trying to cut down but it's kind of hard fo rme. :)

Most of my salary goes to the payment of the boarding house monthly. I don't go shopping. I better stay at home so that i could save some of my money. Since i'm not well compensated.. I have alot the budget for the payment of the rentals. also with the electricity and water bills.

That is the smart way to go. Not go out much so you do not spend. I am trying that now too. Not going out too much. But the very few times that I actually go out, I still spend moolah. Very bad.

For me I think most of it goes to payment. I have to pay for my car,electricity,water,phone and broadband. At the end, left only a little amount for me to spend on fuel and food and also entertainment. So far I never spend on unneccessary items not because I dont want to but if I did it then my budget will worng already. Life so hard : (

It is. We are in a rat race. We just move around and around and ending up nowhere. I wonder what we can do to change that. I know, I can stop spending too much on frigging cosmetics. Then again, I have to use something right?

I guess that most of ym salery goes towards clothes. On a weekly basis it might look like I buy more food then anything else but looking at my yearly spending I do spend more on clothes than anything else not counting bills and other unexpected cost like repairs and such.
