I get $350 a month to spend on whatever I want and everything I need – clothes, food, snacks, entertainment, bar nights, shoes, makeup. The only thing that doesn’t come out of this allowance is my hair appointment. In my mind, this is most definitely a business expense. I can’t go see a rich client with 2 inch roots. Bleach is NOT discretionary spending!
