Bills have not yet arrived, had to use my extra to pay for increased internet
usage when my room mate was here.
Financial Planning -
$14.32.
Utilities –
$264.28 at my current rate I should set enough aside during the winter to pay
for the spike in costs. The
utility company offers to do a similar thing, but it’s cheaper to average it
myself.
Others
House Maintenance -
Savings are up to $1,772.13. I’m slowly learning the value of small and
constant maintenance.
Big Ticket Items -
$485.18 in savings.
Train -
$51.71 still there. Spent some last week so I can go see my folks. = D
Other Transportation -
$90.70 set aside, mostly because people have been offering rides or lending me
their car when I’m out past the time that busses run.
Food -
$172.71 left. I’ve only gone shopping once this month so far.
Miscellaneous -
$20.59
Entertainment -
$15.44. I’ve been buying books from the local library at 2 bucks a pop,
it’s great and cheap.
Social/Sports -
$40, savings are going to stop here until I actually start spending some of it.
Clothes -
$70
Gifts -
$48.40.
Life is steadying out, and along with it so are the finances. That said I wouldn't want you guys to get bored so FYI my finances should become a tad more challenging come September when I start my Masters since my full time pay check may decrease and I may pick up short term stints as a teaching assistant or research assistant.
