If we want to do that for May, we need to spend less than $100 2.5 weeks - I'm not so sure we can do it with a trip to my hometown coming up for the May long weekend.
Monthly Spending Check-in
I don't usually do a post mid-month anymore checking on with our spending but with trying to rein everything in, I thought it couldn't hurt. Here's where we currently stand:
The total is the sum of all of the spending so far less the reimbursable expenses which I should get paid for on my last pay this month. Typically our budget is for spending at about $1,350/month but we're trying to get it down to about $1,000 so that we can put that $350 to better use.

Holla! You are doing a great job, Jessie! Your categories are so low, especially the eating out and booze. I wish that we had only spend $150 this month on gas. I'm kind of embarrassed by how much we've spent. Is $1000 for all spending realistic? There's no way that we could get that low.
ReplyDeleteGood job coming in under $1K. I bet you could spend under $100 if you really tried hard. Good luck!
