Oh, if it doesn't include going out then yeah I can see it. But what do you spend your "fun money" on if I might ask?
Well so far nothing.

A list of things i want/need though:

I really need a bike rack for my car, so that will be first. Runs about $300 for the one i want so i will buy it after my bday (april 6th, money given by parents, wahoo)!

I also want to buy some kind of ipod link for my car, i am waiting for a report on one that someone just ordered for $60

I would like to buy a FPIK air intake.

Before i had my car and i was in London i never bought anything for myself, i love to say oh i would love to buy that, but when i think whether i need it, 9/10 the answer is no so i wont. Now i have the car there is a few things i want out of it - the ipod so i can have 3500 songs on tap and i feel that the car needs to be louder than it is, so intake. Otherwise the only other stuff i buy is EVO magazine every month. I only buy clothes 2 times a year and spend quite a bit when i do, but i am very good with money, i just want to save up for a condo and my next car

I'm saving for a trip to Italy next year. Otherwise, I've been trying to just portion more money for investment/general savings.

My fiancee and I LOVE to travel. We have two savings accounts. One for general savings and the other for vacation. Money goes into each account every month automatically.

I'm savin for my next car too! I know it ain't the smartest move, but every car I've bought has been a "no regrets, enjoyed the hell out of it move". Next one will probably be my last for a while.

Regarding $150 a month, if you can do it, then that is awesome. I know I can't do it...$150 is very little nowadays.

A house- I tire of the apartment life and irresponsible roomates. I want my own home
Also saving for a newer beater car-the wagon has seen its days Sad to see her go, but lasted a damn good while! Almost 250k original motor! Who knows, I should probably just keep on driving her till it dies. It's still kickin and drives fairly well.
