Here's an overview of how much I had planned on spending on EVERYTHING this month and how it actually worked out. Our retirement and medical premium is taken out already.
Savings Account: planned/actual: $400
Household Expenses: (mortgage, utilities, garbage, Internet...)
planned: $1488 actual: $1346.91
Credit/Loan Payments: (includes gym membership, credit card, student loan, personal loan)
planned: $585 actual: $645.52
Cars: (including car payment, insurance, gas, maintenance)
planned: $481 actual: $392.96
Groceries/Drug Store: planned $400 actual: $308.92
Entertainment: planned: $300 actual: $264.50
Spending Money: planned: $300 actual: $240
Other: including unexpected vet bill, magazine renewal, dog equipment and plants for outside: $203
Total Expenses: $3801.81
Total Income: $3996.08
Excess: $194.27
I am incredibly thrilled to have $200 left AFTER we already put 10% in our savings account. We have multiple small repairs that need to be done on the house, so I'll be starting a house fund with this money. And if the car goes down, then we'll have it set aside for that, too.
