Money survey

[(Anonymous)]

I've been thinking a lot about money recently and am curious, what's the approximate breakdown of people's budget as percentage of income? For extra flavor, where do you live? E.g. Mine is: Rent and household bills 55% Savings 20% Money for stuff I pay yearly like insurance, car stuff, etc 15% Monthly payments like petrol, phone bills, etc 7% Disposable income 3% I live in the UK.

I also live in the U.K. and we have a double income. Housing and related bills are about 40%, savings 30%, transport is only about 10% because husband's job pays his parking and rail fees, communications and entertainment (mobiles, landline, internet, Sky, tv license, Cineworld Unlimited) are about 10%, food and clothing is about 5% and the last 5% is disposable income.

We have a 20 year mortgage since we were always going to spend that money for housing and now we can afford to go on holiday a couple times a year, pay road tax for my car, dine out occasionally, and still put money into savings/low risk investments.

Ah I wish we could afford to get on the housing ladder so we weren't just pouring our money into rent.

Out of interest, how do you manage your investments? Through a broker or an online site?

I live with my family, save roughly 90% of my money, and live in a rustbelt suburb

What's a rustbelt suburb, nonny?

That's pretty sweet that you can save so much.

Re: Money survey

Rustbelt refers to certain US areas that used to be prime locations for the industrial sector but are now in decline. You can read more about it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rust_Belt

So I'm located in a suburb of one those areas.

Ah, thanks for the info. We have a similar thing here, old mining towns.

Of my yearly income? About 10% goes towards "housing" and travel costs (it's high because I travel much of the year and hotels are expensive). About 5% goes toward food and bills like my cell plan, vehicles, etc. I generally end up flipping about 50-75% of my paycheck right back into my business, either into general upgrades or bonuses for employees or whatever I want to get done. Anything left over goes into savings or disposable income.

All of that depends on how much money I pulled in that year, though, since my pay varies pretty wildly.

Most of it. I live in an extremely expensive US city and to afford my studio, something like 60% of income goes to rent, not including utilities. I don't have a lot of take home pay every month. (and for what it's worth, I have a salary job) I don't have a car currently though, since I can use public transportation, so that helps offset it a little.
