Besides food and bills and you are still have more money for entertainment or clothing, or put something away for vacation?
May you can save some money, or you barely get the money?
You crazy talking about money? Avoid talk about your problems?
You have courage in these times to make a loan to your bank to buy a house or a car?

Right now my husband and I spend more money on bills then we do on food. Even when we did buy the food, we didn't buy that much and I don't think it ever overweighed the amount of monthly bills.
We do save money! We'll finance a car soon!

I seem to spend the same each month on the food aswell as the bills.I think that everyone has the same problem,what with all the bills aswell as the food prices going up we all have alot less money.I am the type of person who is happy knowing that as long as all of my bills are paid and we all have enough food to eat then that is ok.

We always spend more on bills but that is because we have 2 car notes. We do have money that is put into savings & the retirement fund every money and have a few hundred after bills, gas, food,& savings to spend freely every month.

We spend more on food probably throughout the month then we do on bills. Only buy a small bit though.No, at this time there is nothing left really for what we call"extras" We are barely scraping by right now. I can't wait till warmer weather then I will be able to breath a sign of relief for a few months again..Nope no loans or credit cards for anything..We have a thing if can' afford it don't really need it. We live simply..We don't even own a car. Insurance and maintenance/gas would drag us under..so we just choose to pay someone $10-15 to take us to town when needed but then again we don't get to town but once or twice a month.

We pay more in bills than we do in food.
We only pay about $100 a month for food, but we pay:
$200 for electricity
$75 for the house phone
$75 cor cable
$50 for my cellphone
So we pay more for bills than we do for food.

Right now our bills and groceries take most of our income, especially with the rise in costs. There's not much left for anything else but at least we're still doing ok, which is more than what most can say. As for buying big ticket items like a house or car, not a chance. If we did have extra money, it would be tucked away for when we need it.

I think we are spending more money on medical bills.All other things are essential and we are not extravagant about anything.We can control our budget to the needs but this medical expenses are unpredictable at all.So,I consider our family to be spending a lot for consultation fees and on medicines.

This month because we had company come in from Kentucky we spent more on food then on the bills. But normally I spend way more on bills then on the food. But when you have 3 growing kids, I have to say it is still expensive even with coupon clipping and with buying sales items. I easily spend $800 a month just on food. We never get to put money away, we just barely make it from month to month.
