Blog Guy, you’ve given good personal finance advice in the past, and I need some help. I’m falling behind. Here’s my monthly budget. Am I wasting too much money on books?
- rent $1,400
- food $600
- utilities $220
- gasoline $310
- beer $4,000
- books $40
Um, let me stop you right there. Budget planners with a sharp eye for detail might suggest that $4,000 is a lot for beer every month. Of course I do know there is a precedent, this guy in Australia who was spending $972 a WEEK on beer, but it didn’t work out so well for him.

Are you in collage or a pen and paper role-playing-gamer? Otherwise that’s $40 that could be spent on booze, beer, or food.
- Posted by BryanHe spends almost twice as much on rent as I do for everything put together.
Must be a nice apartment, or a one-room hovel in New York City.

- Posted by BandageFYI folks. That link in my last comment seems to have gotten broken up for some reason. I don’t know why but you won’t get to the intended location using it. Copy and paste this one instead (text between the quotes -no spaces)

Fail.
That isn’t THAT much to spend on beer… If you go out to nice clubs every night, that’s only like a twelve pack a night. Really not that outrageous.
- Posted by bar hopperIf you wanne be able to spend a lot on beer, you’ll first have to earn a lot!
