November’s expenses were rather high. This month’s expenses will likely be about the same.
Entertainment expense was for one month of Peacock, Hulu, Prime and Paramount +. After various deals I only paid $12.84 in total for all four services. I think that was a pretty good deal.
My transportation expense consisted of $147.92 for gas.
Food expense was $451.05. That is divided between $293.19 for groceries and $157.86 for restaurants. That was higher than last month. I’m hoping I can get it down a little this month, but I’m not worrying about it too much.
Travel expense came in at $595. That was for my Citi Strata Elite annual fee. I should be able to get a lot more than $595 of value out of it.
Utilities came in at $222.07. This was for electric, water, and internet. This was a little lower than the previous month since we didn’t use as much air conditioning. This much should be much lower.
Household expense came in at $781.06. This was mostly for a new couch and a very small amount of gold.
I spent $15 for one month of phone service for my wife.
The $64.15 spent on health was for health insurance and otc medications.
After an October with low expenses, expenses swung the other way in November. This month will be another expensive month, although it should be less expensive than November. How was your month?
