What Do You Do? Where Does it Go?

I know there's been one of these before but it's always good to refresh memories. Basically what do you do for a living? Where does your money go?

I'm an emergency dispatcher for my county (when you call 911 or another help number) and a student. So far I can safely say 95% of all the money I've ever made has gone into the girls I've dated and been engaged to. Well, I'm single now and buying a new car so that's about to change .

Re: What Do You Do? Where Does it Go?

I'm an Accounts Clerk for my dads accounting firm, mostly doing reconcilliations.


I'm a third year accounting student the rest of the year (Specialising in tax at the moment), probably get a job at either a big firm or a merchant banking firm when I graduate.


Most of my money goes toward models or saving for flatting.

Re: What Do You Do? Where Does it Go?

Well I just graduated with a BBA specialized in marketing, and am looking around for a career job in my area (not easy, not a lot of jobs around here ). While I look, I'm working at the business of a long-time friend - basically buy and resell telecommunications equipment and other electronics. Also, old stock that nobody wants is dismantled and sold for the gold, copper, and steel. Though I am looking for another job, I'm quite enjoying this for the moment, as it gives me a "break" from life while keeping money in my pocket. I never took a break between HS and college so I've always been busy on the go, it's nice to be able to have time to just hang out.

I keep my expenses to a minimum, but am paying (a miniscule amount) for board, investing, and saving most of the rest for a car...

Re: What Do You Do? Where Does it Go?

I work at Menards...it's like Home Depot only different colors. All of my money since August is going into my "new(er) car fund" only after checking insurance rates on a few that I want it might end up being an older car.

Re: What Do You Do? Where Does it Go?

I work at Safeway. Its a grocery store. I stock the shelves overnight, run a cash register, currently I'm trying to get back into the checkstand full-time due to my hours getting cut in half. My money goes towards mortgage, utilities, groceries, paying off credit cards. I usually have $50.00 to myself after I pay everything each month. Its not like I don't make decent money for a single guy.

Re: What Do You Do? Where Does it Go?

I do quality control in a sawmill. Also operations/maintenance on the optimizing computers. I have a wife and three kids, guess where my money goes.
