The categories that are in bold are that which our day-to-day joint spending account are for - the account that we give ourselves $300/week for. The other categories are typically saved up for before purchasing - or purchases we've been able to make because of, for example, birthday money/tax returns/ ect.
While groceries continues to feel like a lot for two people - gas has finally leveled out which is good. Our eating out is fairly high as well - but nothing like it used to be in years past - the same goes for Entertainment with just one splurge in July.
Education has leveled off because Jordan and I are (for now) currently both done with our most recent educational pursuits.
Home Maintenance also includes large 'for the home' purchases - furniture and that sort of thing. We're still settling into our new home, so I imagine this line will continue to see fluctuations.
Any questions? Feel free to ask!

Do you have a lot of food waste? I find that with just D and I we seem to waste food every week! It's so frustrating! We spend about $400 a month on groceries.
ReplyDeleteWe spend a ton on food also. This is something that we're working on.
