What takes up the biggest chunk of your income?

I spend the biggest chunk of my pay cheque on my sibling's school expenses and my parents' living allowance (40%), then my utility bills (cable, internet, phone), food and shopping (cookbooks, shoes and clothes).

our biggest expenses is for our kids. for their vatamins, vaccines, baby foods, formula milk and of course "2 yayas". its close to half of my income are budgetted for them. my husband's share is the monthly amortization of our house and lot. well, that's philippine lifestyle...

Definitely food...I'm not yet married, but most of my income will go to food. Like, I don't hesitate in spending on it. Next would be my bills, then shopping.

I can say that food has the biggest chunk in my income. That is only with the kids and grown ups, we still have a one year and nine months baby who needs at least 500 pesos for his formula only...

I don't have income yet, but I consider my weekly campus allowance is my sort of income. TRANSPORTATION SWALLOWS TWO-THIRDS OF MY INCOME. My campus is an hour away from where I live, so it's supposed to make perfect sense, but--jeez! Is my allowance too small or is my fare too big?

Hello blungel0830! I also live in Philippines, i agree with you that food is the biggest expense but for my family situition... house is our biggest expense cause we just are renting semi-condo here in manila, well, good fo me and my family because the father of my kids have an uncle that possess goodheart and source of living.

The biggest we have to spend is on rent. It takes up half from the salary that my husband brought home and it is making our life quite difficult. But we don't have any children so we don't buy a lot of food. Furthermore we don't have to buy milk, diapers and other children things which would eat up a lot of costs. Besides that, we are also doing part time job. We have a small business selling sate, a type of grilled chicken and beef on sticks. If you come here to my country you must taste my delicious sate. I

Hi, My biggest monthly expenses are on Food items and my Transportation .

I spend most of my salary on my credit bill. Lol I have to pay my monthly insurance and the appliance I bought for 6 months installment and other stuff too using my credit card. Sometimes I spend my money on food. Other things are mostly spend for necessities and hygienic stuff.

Hi there. Well, as expected, a huge chunk of our family's income goes into paying the rent and utility bills. I usually contribute half of my salary for this cause and the rest is used to buy food. However, when it comes to personal expenditures, I'd say most of my half of my salary goes to paying my credit card bill.

It's always FOOD. My budget has greater allotment for food and vitamins because they are much needed of our body to function well. I am renting right now because I am still single, so I have no big problem so far in bills, I only pay P1,000 per month and it is already covered light and water bills for my boarding house.

Definitely housing related costs, although we do spend quite a lot of money on food also!
