    Start now with some good life habits, so you’ll avoid looking bad later.  For ex, hire a personal trainer.  Eat right.  If you’re worried about hair loss, acti now to prevent (further) lass.  Control your alcohol intake.

    Gary reacted to + Vegas_Millennial in Income to hire regularly   
    I like to follow and recommend the 50/30/20 rule for working folks.  50% of net income goes to needs, 30% of net income goes to wants, and 20% of net income goes to savings/investing.
    Right now I spend 25% of my net income on leisure travel (a want), so that only leaves 5% for all other entertainment.
  6. Thanks

    I did a casual google search for what percent of income can one allow for entertainment.
     
    Up to to 10% of net income for all entertainment came up multiple times.  For a $1000 allotment for entertainment per month, that’s from a net yearly income of $120,000.  I’d be inclined to halve the allotment to $500 per month in order to allow for other entertainment, with the understanding that this hobby is being prioritized.
    These calculations at least provide a starting point.

    Michael Douglas appears in "Family Guy Viewer Mail No. 1" at a Hollywood party with wife Catherine Zeta-Jones.  In "Baby, It's Cold Inside", a cutaway gag shows Michael at a dinner party offering to tell the guests how he got mouth cancer, resulting in Catherine Zeta-Jones storming away.

    A friend objected to the movie Robin Hood, PoT as well.  In a later scene, which you didn't see, there's an attempted rape and it's played for comedy. 
    But I'll watch anything with Alan Rickman, even Closet Land.  Such a sexy guy.

    Possible new topic:  Movies/Plays you sought a refund for.  That would be Punch Drunk Love for me. (Hey!  I just remembered another movie I walked out of!)  I saw it with one of the friends who walked out of JRB, and the first ten minutes were so abysmal that we left and actually got a refund because it was so early in the movie.

    Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner.  An early scene depicted the amputation of a man’s hand in a moorish prison.  I considered the scene gratuitous violence, and found it offensive.  I left, filling out a form asking for a refund of the ticket price.

    Gary got a reaction from SirBillybob in How long between Sessions?   
    Interesting question, how long between sessions.  One idea:  once a week for an hour each time.  $250/$300 x 50 = $12,500/$15,000 annually.  A possible variant could be every other week.  3 hr (block) week 1 and 1 hr week 3—with weeks 2&4 off.  As a comparison, I used an athletic trainer three times a week, $100 per session, for 2-3 years.
