I wasn’t too far off my goal of keeping my monthly expenses under $1000. Considering I moved into a new apartment this expense level is reasonable. My food category was pretty high which isn’t surprising since I had at least 30 restaurant meals during the month. That category should be much lower this month. I might be able to shave a little off my entertainment budget. My transportation expense will go up because I have to do a lot more driving now that I have a job. Everything else should stay about the same.
If you are eligible for part of the $500 giveaway I would still like to hear your opinion on how to distribute the money.
