So I am a second-semester senior on the cusp of graduating with a nearly-useless BA in Psychology, and I was wondering what entertainment budget would be allowable to use for fun while I finish up college. I usually have a weekly dinner out with friends, although I'm trying to change that into a weekly home-cooked dinner in with friends, and I like to have one adventure per month.
These will be laughably smaller numbers compared to some Mustachians; I came upon financial independence very late in my life after a very financially frivolous high school, and I haven't even passed the 5k mark! Tuition, rent, and books are all covered, I go everywhere on my bike, and I have a part-time teaching job which pays for groceries and little else. (Note: My job could theoretically be downsized away at the start of next semester, and if that's the case, I hope to attempt to find a new job, although I'm a little bit slow)
Savings: $4,600
Income from part-time Job: $35/week
Food Budget: $25/week
With these numbers, what would you estimate would be an allowable entertainment budget? I am okay with dipping a little bit into my savings to ensure that I have enough funds to have at least one excursion per semester, provided I don't go below $4,200.
Bonus question: Is my food budget too high? I'm vegetarian and kosher, if that makes any difference.
