I finally got my expenses back down under the $1000 mark. Expenses should be pretty much the same in June. I do make a 3 hour drive twice a week now which might increase my gas costs but I’m driving less during the week which will offset most of that. My car has to be registered and inspected this month also so my transportation cost might go up a little. My entertainment cost also might go up slightly since I was able to take advantage of more free entertainment in May than I think I’ll be able to do this month. Overall it should be a low cost month though.
Hey Nicely done! I’ve been encourage to decrease my expenditures. Lets see how well I can manage. 😀 Great site you have here!

For your information, there is a great little online personal budgeting website that is totally free and truly anonymous. It lets you open your private budget account with just your e-mail and asks nothing more from you.
You are immediately given a great looking, easy to use straight forward budget page, and you can also generate monthly reports to your e-mail for safe keeping before end-of-month closing and starting a new month. The budget categories are not user modifiable but the set is very rich and flexible covering just about any practical category plus a few catch all miscellaneous category, not a bad deal for a free utility. And there is an instant super easy to use online users billboard that holds discussions among users and the developer too.
