I, too, am currently planning my annual budget for the year. I’m my own financial adviser on these matters, so am checking my actual expenditure for the last year against what I had budgeted for, and the state of my savings and investments.
I set myself a budget of £3k for ‘entertainment,’ but have underspent for the last couple of years. At 78, I agree that 2 punts a month is about right, but I’ve only managed about 18 a year as other social and domestic activities seem to get in the way!.....
I will try to do better this year.
