Hard to say because I’m not too great at budgeting (constantly having outstanding expenses and receivables/intermingling business expense on personal card makes it muddy) but if i were to guess, probably about ~2k

I spend ~2-2.5k a month. That include my gym and I probably eat out at fancy places more than the average person.

Gym- $200
Food - $20/day, $600
Drinks- $50/week, $200
Misc- $50/week, $200

All in, $1200-$1500 depending on how much I treat myself.

$20/day for food in NYC?!

1.5-1.8k, always aiming to keep it on the lower end by cooking dinners and bringing lunch twice a week

24/single and my total monthly discretionary spend is about $1.5k to $2.0k

Gym - $100
Grocery - $400
Dinners/bars/clubs - $500
Dumb stuff on amazon/shopping - $300
Avg. travel/get always - $500
Misc. $200

25, have girlfriend. About 1500-2000
