You'll notice that there are a couple of fields that are empty already (roommates rent and Jordan's credit card) - that's because those transactions have already happened. My budgets tend to be very active, always updated.
There is also a huge credit card payment - this is due to my reimbursable expenses (work trip). About $2,200 of this is not Jordan or My house hold spending. That still put's us over budget and the period isn't over yet (it will be on Nov. 5) - but I think we're getting better at this.
Our planned spending and savings categories are as per normal - nothing special here - just slow and steady.
Finally, we have to exciting things we're able to to make great strides toward this month. We're able to make some very large contributions to our house fund and our wedding fund. The house fund contribution is to pay ourselves back from what we have borrowed over the last couple of months.
