TheJournal.ie reader WELCOME TO HOW I Spend My Money, a series on The Journal that looks at how people in Ireland really handle their finances.
Last time around, we heard from a 23-year-old social media manager on €32K living in Dublin. This week, a 24-year-old software developer on €50K living in Louth. 7.00 pm: Once I finish dinner, I head up to my room and play on my Xbox, because I obviously need more screen time in my life.Today’s total: €10.00
1.00 pm: Lunch time again, and again I decide to go out for a walk and then got some lunch from the shop. Another chicken fillet roll with the usual extras of a small bar of chocolate and a drink, costing €10 again. I really am a creature of habit.

That 'small bar of chocolate' bringing the coffee and chicken roll up to €10 ..... yeah right!!! Bet he thinks Mammy doesn't know .... more 'knock-knock' than Tik Tok with the g/friend if you ask me!
