<prompt> Human: Ive been saving up to buy the car from my dad when he gets a new one and already have enough. I want to buy things like buy 25 of chocolate on Amazon just because I feel like it without really a good reason. I make 250 bi-weekly if that helps at all. Then I keep wanting to buy stupid things that I dont really need and feel bad about it. I have no debt as I got a lot of scholarships. Thanks for the helpAssistant: Make a budget. Have a line for random crap. Dont spend more on random crap then you budget.Human: How much would be a good amount to spend on random crap do you think?Assistant: What expenses do you have?Human: Only expenses I have are eating out a couple times a week which is only like 60-70 per paycheck.  <response>: Eating out is still fun money. With no actual expenses Id say you should be saving at least 50-75 of your income. Id say 100-150month on whatever you want is good. The rest should be saved for the long term. I think spending 25 of your income in eating out is way too much.
