My August expenses almost got down to my target level of $1000. I had a dental appointment which cost $165 which caused part of the overage. My entertainment expense was the only category that was way too high. I spent $40 on a $50 movie gift card which will be used mainly this month and I put some more money into fixing my bike which resulted in the high entertainment expense. All of my other expense categories were okay. This month I am having some oral surgery so my expenses will be way up. I will probably also have some travel expense. Everything else should remain about the same.
I’m usually jealous when I see how little you spend on food. What do you typically eat? Just curious if there are any frugal meals I am missing out on.
This figure is a little misleading since my GF does all the grocery shopping and I contribute a little money towards the grocery budget. When I was living alone I spent about the same though. I usually eat pretty simple stuff. It mostly isn’t healthy food so I should probably change my diet.
