Where Does The Money Go?

Most of my money goes to doctors and meds and to food. I seldom buy anything else.

My property taxes went up a bit but I'd say that my monthly expenses are higher with the price of food. Theres no such thing as a cheap meal anymore

I would say housing..especially since. My mortgage went up over 100.00 due to taxes and homeowners

Money goes all over - food, house and garden maintenance, maids, phone and electricity bills, Fortunately my medicine bills get reimbursed.

i would also say food, only because i really don't buy random things if i don't need them

on food. food is life and it's also very expensive, year after year

I am certainly not seeing any money these days.

Eating healthy is not definitely not cheap. For me more on food as well. We eat 3x a day

Mostly toward groceries and I can afford to order groceries only once a month,

Well food always seems expensive when I'm doing the shopping, but then when I overhear what other people are spending... it's pretty good value Health; thankfully I am healthy at the moment so nothing to spend there. Household appliances; all ours are years old and when they need replacing I look around for a second hand one, so not that much gets spent there. Entertainment; well, we all read a lot, luckily there are plenty of good books available second hand. We sometimes watch a DVD which only costs a pound or two. We rarely go to the cinema. We go to the theatre more often but that's because I volunteer there so get discounted tickets. We don't often go on expensive outings, more likely go to a museum (free) or meet friends for a dog walk, or something like that. I guess one of the most expensive things is going to folk music festivals with the girls because of their dancing (but we do get discounted tickets). Clothes; almost all mine are from charity shops or were inherited from my Mum! I shop for the girls in charity shops too, or on Ebay if I'm looking for something specific, although I do buy nice new things for them as well, but not that often. I guess running a car and buying fuel is a big expense. We have downsized to one car and so far are managing OK. I ride my bicycle on shorter trips anyway (basically free). So after all that, not sure where the money goes! You said to exclude accommodation - that is by far the biggest expense because of utility bills and property taxes.

I should think most of our goes oon food although health/car/house insurance takes a hefty bite too.

I should say to the rent of our flat. We just moved here in our new home and so the expenses are much on the kitchen furniture as we have a new kitchen.

I'd say the combination of all of my other bills is where most of my money goes. Between the mortgage, utilities, cable, cell phone, Internet, and everything else, that takes up the bulk.

A person has to pay the basics before anything else. Housing, utilities, food, transportation costs whether it's a car or public transportation, insurance, medical. None of those things are cheap. There is absolutely no question here as to where the money goes!

My house eats money like its going out of style. Hubby wanted a shed torn down and a new one put up. That is not cheap. Next year: the roof. OUCH. Other big spenders: our animals. Prescription cat food for instance, is a huge bill.

My money is for food electric bills water bills, Internet bill hehe seems forever.

Food, utilities, and communications are the main items.
