Discretionary Spending

« Back to Glossary Index

Definition: Discretionary spending refers to non-essential expenses used for personal enjoyment or lifestyle choices. It includes spending on wants rather than needs, such as dining out, entertainment, or hobbies.

Example: Spending $75 on a concert ticket is discretionary, whereas paying $75 for your electricity bill is an essential expense.
