Default Re: Budgeting for personal entertainment

Entertainment comes out of spending money. DH and I budget $220/week for spending money--$60 each as personal pocket money and $100/week for eating out/entertainment together.

I also wish we spent more of it on entertainment than restaurant meals. I think we'd enjoy it more. Of course, if we were ever in financial straits it would be the first thing to go. But for now it's our way of balancing meeting our financial goals while also living our lives for today.
