How much do you spend to go to Work/School?
 
On average, how much do you spend a week to go to work?

Breakfast?
Lunch?
If you drive to work: Gas? Tolls?
If you take public tansportation ... $?
Anything else you spend on?


Per week, I fill the tank, now that my car is tuned a full tank will actually last me a week, but using 93 Octane it's running me about $46 in gas, alone.

Breakfast i'm usually stingy so expenses are good, I usually just grab something out of the house, been dieting the past 2 weeks so usually a banana/orange.

Lunch i've been purchasing these lean cuisunes (tv dinners..but healthier) from the store, so on average they're about $3 a pop x5 a week i'm only running about $15 a week for Lunch.

No tolls to speak of, love the public Highways.

I'm almost eliminaiting soda completely as it interfers with the diet i'm on, so a can a day is it, 60 cents a shot, so only 3-4 bucks a week on soda now, and that's really about it. I've completely toned down my spending through work, and it's helped out my bank account greatly..

Every Friday - at least one bus, £1.50. Every other Friday a second bus, £1.20.

Every other week - three buses, £1.50 each.

I eat breakfast at home and take in a packed lunch.

So in the week where I catch the buses in the afternoon, I'll probably spend £6. The other week it's only £2.70.

And then there are the odd games of Pool, which I'll probably have about ten of (which I pay for, I have more that others pay for) a week, at 30p each.

So (two separate weeks which repeat):

Week 1 - £9
Week 2 - £5.70

Extremely little. Obviously this'll change in October when I go off to Uni - self-catered, tuition fees, living costs, and maybe a bu if I can't be bothered walking, maybe a couple of hundred pounds a week then?

Hmm.. let's see here.

Breakfast - I rarely eat breakfast and when I do it's normally some fruit that my work provides. If not fruit, then I go to CVS and get a breakfast sandwich which is like $2.50 and I do that maybe twice a week.

Lunch - This costs me anywhere from $4.00 at Taco Bell or $7.50 from other places (Subway, Great Steak and Potato, or this pizza place). That's about 4 times a week. Sometimes there will be leftover food from the caters that come and supply these business meetings and I'll get lucky enough to snatch a plate for free. I'm talkin GOOD and healthy food at that. So, on average, I'm paying about $23 per week for lunch.

Gas - It's about a 15-20 mile drive from my house to work and I go through a full tank weekly. With gas being outrageous right now that's easily $35.

I can't really think of any other expenses. I mean, I pay electric, cable, and rent at home every month (which blows), but I still have more than enough money to do whatever I please. But, it looks like it costs me $63 a week to go to work. Damn.

Not a dime. I walk to work.

I generally spend around 6-10 dollars a day on food, and that's it. I have a car in case I need it, but I generally just take public transportation here, which is free. It's a good life.
