I'm not saying you need to go on the same saving plan as any of us on this board, but your utility bills (not including cable or sport packages), rent, groceries, and necessities (shampoo, toilet paper, soap, etc.) should always be your first priorities, not having FUN.
I think you really should list your take home pay and your monthly bills/expesnes/fun/etc.
Also, are you contributing to your employers match in your 401(k)? This should always be a first priority as well.
Good luck, I really look forward to hearing what you decide to do.

Well Let me just say this, I just don't breath to go to work and pay bills and rent, I need more reasons than that to breath everyday and if that means going DVD shopping, going on a Date, or buying clothes then that's just h0how it has to be. I do understand paying your bills in full benefits in the long run which is why I'm doing it now. But you better believe that I'm not just going to not have any sort of entertainment in my life because of bills. I'm sure I'm not the only one on here who thinks that way
