Books, normally manga... on Amazon, and between about £5 and £10... cheap clothes... generally as much as I can get for the little amount of money I have!

It all depends on what is if for. Since I will be spending this dollar, I believe at least I need to know what is it for. I would usually do it if it's for a good cause (feeding kids, paying for a hospital bill, etc). If you're asking for this donation to buy liquor, drugs, etc, I would rather send you an advice that hopefully would make you think twice about these topics.

don't buy silly stuff\n\nan easy way of doing that, is working out how much you want to spend on things from what you get per month.\nfor example if you hve 100$, spend 20$ on food, 20$ on coffee, 30$ on clothes and 30$ on going out. \nit all depends on your priorities and what you feel is important. \nkeep a note of it in your purse and keep track of what you're buying (keep receipts so you can check)\nif you want something but have already spent the money dedicated to that, eg if you want another coffee, but you've spent the 20$ dedicated to that, just get a glass of water: you know you can't afford it. \nand then you will learn to control your spending.\n\ngood luck

Anywhere between NONE and all that you can afford..how favorite are they?  What other obligations do you have? I'd say 50%...I'm sure there are things you can do without and still places that you can save in your monthly budget on things for you (and others in your family, if applicable).

There is never too much money. Because honestly, if i had too much money, i could eat caviar 3 times a day and fly my private jet between my 135 houses all over the world. That would really be okay by me.\n\nOn that note, if you feel that you have too much money, i'll gladly accept some of that extra cash.

It all depends on the amount of bills you have and what you make.\nI have to spend more like 75% towards bills, then 10% for groceries, 10% for necessities & fun, and 5% to savings.  Would like to put more into savings and the "fun", but house & gas bills have to get paid first :-(

As much as you can NEVER spend.\n\n\nP.S.  DOWN HERE we have eternal fire money - trades well for heavenly vacations BTW.

Both!  I love to spend.  On Anything!  But.  I always get the bills paid, deposit into savings, and buy the household supplies.  Any extra money is either spent on activities on the family or saved in a different account for a summer vacation.  We always keep enough money in our reg savings to major cover car repairs, home repairs, and to survive a month if one can't work.  My best saying is " You've never seen a Hearst with a luggage rack!"  As for the inheritance side of things "It's more about memories than the money."

Hide your money in a safe place. When it's not lying around, you won't remember to spend it.\n\nDon't bring too much money whenever you're out and about because you'll be tempted to spend it.\n\nWhenever you pick up anything you want to buy, ask yourself why you want it, do you really need it now or at all, is it worth it, how will it benefit you, is there anything wrong with it, could you get a better deal somewhere else, etc.

Compulsive spending, like all other compulsions, must be dealt with one day at a time.  Since you know you have been spending too much, what can you do about it TODAY?  You can avoid those budgetary items that are most nearly luxuries rather than necessities; I do not NEED another DVD.\n\nThen, when it comes to necessities, try to appreciate just how much of each necessity you really need.  I have known plenty of people, not only females, who have more clothes than they can possibly wear.  Or they buy new clothes just to put off doing the laundry!  \n\nThen, finally, there is extravagance even with necessities that involves higher quality than you can reasonably afford.  It is all very nice to have good taste, but the finest of everything every day is for multimillionaires, not ordinary folk.  Allow yourself one fine luxury habit, such as very good tea instead of cheap supermarket types, and let that be your "little luxury," because it is the only one.  Or enjoy the thrill of finding very good bargains, but only buy what you really need when it really is a remarkable bargain.\n\nOne day at a time, my friend; you'll be OK.

Fascinating question.  I think I will try to answer it philosophically, because I lack specific statistics.\n\nThe majority of retail spending in this country is often referred to as "conspicuous consumption."  Chief among these is more generally known as "fashion," and more realistically referred to as "fad."  That is, what most American teens (who make up the shock wave of fad, after all; it's inevitable) spend money on is what most American teens spend money on.  That is, convince a kid it's "cool," or that "all the coolest people buy them," and they buy it.  Because "everyone else" or "everyone cool" is buying it.\n\nAnd usually, with girls, the thing is clothes, and that means a consciousness of what size you wear.  What friends can you trade clothes with?  Those are the ones you go shopping with.  They take community interest in an outfit, and get three or four times the wear out of it.  And the smartest "gangs" including one a size smaller, preferably who has a rich father, two or three that can share, and one a size larger who gets the cast-offs as they lose weight again.\n\nSo the second thing they spend money on is trying to lose weight. That is probably the most lucrative side of our economy after fashion, and they are the best of friends, go to the same clubs, and buy stock in one another's companies.\n\nAnd THAT's what Americans buy when they can: stock in the companies that are fueled by the emotional lack of control of a mass of teenagers and young adults who just want to be cool.\n\nPitiful, ain't it?

If its a gift exchange where you only buy one present, then perhaps you should ask your group to establish a spending limit. I would say $20 and under would be fine!

Hey Gigi! Found a 3-step solution:\n\n1. Find yourself something you really really liked in childhood then get that & indulge for a week, it doesn't have to cost a lot of money.\n\n2. Check whether stuff you want to buy truly matches what you value at heart. You can start out by tracking what you spend money on for a week. \n\n3. After that week, slim your expenses down to what you value at heart. & keep indulging in less-than-GBP 2 -fun!\n\nIt's great, worked for me & lots of friends
