May Spend Report

Posted by with 1 comment | in
It's late - but here it is!

Here it is!  Off the top it looks pretty crazy with over $7,000 in spending - but have a look a the line in orange.  Over $4,000 of that has been, or will be reimbursed by either our employers, our benefit providers or our family (Costco chopping for family).

Items in blue came from planned spending categories - and the Clothes/Shoes/Hair was paid for by gift money that I had been saving for almost a year - it is mostly the shopping spree I shared with you a month or so ago plus new work shoes for Jordan.

As always what goes in our face (groceries, eating out and alcohol is high).  I actually expect it to be higher in the summer because we're off camping so much.

Gifts is also going to start increasing as we move into July.

    You guys spent almost the exact same amount on groceries as eating out, that's never happened to us, its always one's higher than the other to balance the other out ;)

    It can be hard to budget when people owe you money because you picked up something for them (this happens to us a lot since most of my family doesn't drive) but its hard to say no.
