Metrosexual Budget

 

How do metrosexuals spend their money? Good question. Here’s a chart to show you how a metrosexual divides his money for the week:

The basic breakdowns on a $5000 monthly budget are: 

• Fine Dining: 30%, or $1500. This is not your entire weekly food budget, in fact, that’s a little too stingy for a metrosexual. Food itself should be costing you around $50 a day average. Eat breakfast at home, make some scrambled eggs and toast, or cereal, whatever you like, BUT you must stop at a Starbucks, or Tim Hortons, to grab a fine Latte, Chai, Green tea, or whatever you prefer. Coffee shops are a metrosexual’s heaven. Bring your laptop and do your work to the coffee shop, or arrange informal meetings at a coffee shop. Also, for lunch and dinner, go a little extra and order a fine wine or cognac. This is a metrosexual’s success presentation!

• Style: 20% or $1000 a month. Every other week, treat yourself to a hair appointment, manicure (and pedicure if you wish), and also hit the gym 2-3 times a week, this should cost you around $100-$250 a month.  Then you have $750-$900 to spend on clothing. Yes, this makes sense, you be buying some new clothes; suits, shirts, jeans, shoes, whatever, but this is important for you to maintain your style.

• Savings and Investments: 50% or $2500 a month. The rest of your money should be going to your investments, whether stocks, bonds, real estate, or businesses. Your mortgage should be paid with this money (and mortgages do count as an investment, it is real estate). The rest of the money you should put in some sort of savings, whether stocks or your savings account.

A metrosexual’s spending habits attribute to his success!
