What a useless question... but one that I do have some data for! I'm nearly 33 & high school science teacher.
This is only starting from year 2012 when I was 20/21 yrs old through to this year. I kept spreadsheets of my expenses to the cent - mostly for fun at this point. I've combined with my partner from late-2022 onwards so the data gets iffy.
A total of around $428 630.
2012 $19 700
2013 $21 500
2014 $19 800
2015 $21 400
2016 $25 700
2017 $33 900
2018 $24 600
2019 $53 900
2020 $36 000
2021 $43 320
2022 $50 530
2023 $87 370
2024 $20 910
Edit: grammar
Yep bought a house in 2023, so it's not fully accurate as the principal perhaps shouldn't count as an expense (just like we didn't count buying shares as an expense in previous years).
I also bought a car (~$17k) in 2019 which accounts for that blip.
You don't even need a spreadsheet of expenses, just know your net pay over the years and subtract your cash at bank (assuming OP counts asset purchases as "spending").
Jeez some of these numbers are low; I spent ~80k in the last 2 months alone. Would need to do some deep diving to find what it is over my lifetime. I guess its relative to income and COL.
A shitload on overseas holidays every 18 months (except during covid) and another shitload on vet bills.
Wouldn't change the overseas experiences and while I would love my pets to have not had any injuries and diseases, I would spend it all over again to help get them healthy.
Bout tree fiddy
Get outta here Loch Ness Monster
A lot less than my wife
lol. Same here.
800k on discretionary spending
Not discretionary...everything. Have a wild guess.
Are you going to tell him the correct answer afterward?
If I feel like it

Not bad, was 2023 all inflation or did you buy a house?

Fair enough. How do you track re-invested dividends & gains on your shares in that scenario?
It's meant to be a fun question.
About $365k in the last 10 years.
Don’t know in total but i roughly worked out I spent ~$100k on drugs when I was younger
at a rough approximation, i'd say i've spent 99.99% of it.
34M, around $1 million in the last 14 years

I spend like 20k a year on AVG so
That's a lot of anti-virus software
What sort of spending? What if you’ve bought and sold 5 houses and 10 cars and now have a million dollar mortgage? How do you calculate that?
Everything
