Unfortunately, I don't have room in my budget for video games, so I usually make sacrafices. For example, rather than drink hienekken, I drink Natural Light; rather than eating out, I eat romain noodles; rather than 3 meals a day, I eat two. LOL, yall get the hint.

It changes with time. There are times where its 0 to 5% and there are times like the last few months where its up to 25%. It all depends on the time of year and what games come out during those times, Right now i'm on a gaming binge.

Cant say really. I one of those guys that lives in his parents basement and keeps ending up in one dead end job after another. Hopefully one of these days I can go back to school or heck fine a job above minimum wage (Do good in school kid's, apparently Society hates people who cant crunch Numbers or speak Spanish)

When I am working my weekly finances tend to go as so..... I pay a quarter of the utility bills, ends up to be around 25-30 bucks and 150 dollars on car insurance. Minus50 bucks for food and, I'm usually left with about, 90 bucks that goes into the bank.

I usually try not to buy games at 50 or 60 dollars, I'll admit I haven't been living up to that goal, but ideally I don't want to spend anymore than 25 bucks on any particular game.

I only buy games second hand (a few exceptions) and seconed hand consoles, and only when the price has dropped a lot.

I guess my total spending this year is about 3 days wages, and yet I have managed to buy half a dozen games and a 360. This suggest my percentage spending is around 1%.

i'm 16 and currently don't work and buy usually one game a month, but since i don't make any money right now through work i spend most of my money i have. i have money saved up from workin in the past, and get money occasionaly for selling stuff and people finally paying me back the money they owe me. With all that gaming is still about 70% of the money i spend since i have no income. The other 30% go to cd's football games and soccer games for school and food.

About 2-3%, but it isn't that low from a lack of buying games.

Monthly, roughly 6-46%. It depends on the month, current releases, and needs of gaming merchandise (controllers, cables, etc.)

Everymonth, 6% given for broadband. I make sure I have the highest speeds available for online gaming.
