Random budgeting poll

Approximately how much spending cash do you take out of the ATM per week? If you don't take out but DH does for the both of you - how much? If it is easier to answer on a monthly basis please do.

Just curious Chat Icon Thanks!

ETA: Forgot to answer my own poll! I think we spend about $500 in cash per month (combined) - but, we put a lot on the CC as well.

Re: Random budgeting poll

We each take out about $100 each on average.
But we both don't always use all of it so the next week we may take out less. It depends.

Re: Random budgeting poll

we're each alloted $200 per week.

Some weeks we only take $100 - $150 each but we never take more than $220 even on a bad week.

It seems like a lot BUT we both work in Manhattan (coffee, breakfast, lunch, happy hour, etc...) and we use it for gas purchases, cigarettes, dining out, ordering in, dry cleaning, cleaning lady, drug store purchases, any entertainment (movies and rentals, coffee with friends, going to the bar), etc etc ...

I try to keep it to $100 a week, but if there's a lot going on I will take up to $250.

We hardly ever take anything out of the ATM. I hate paying the fees!

Thankfully, DH is a musician, so we'll use his tip money for spending cash if we need it. We both bring lunch to work so we cut down our spending with that as well.

We don't spend cash. We pretty much charge everything. I can't remember the last time I went to the ATM.

Re: Random budgeting poll

It varies. DH gets his check cashed by his employer, so he gives me cash so I don't have to go to the ATM, which is a joke because I ususally end up taking out between 100 and 200 every week Chat Icon

We really need a new system because I don't know what the heck I spend that money on Chat Icon

The problem is our bank is in Bethpage, so we're not going to drive there every time we need to take money out of the ATM.
