REALITY CHECK JANUARY'S TOTALS

January 27th, 2009 at 11:50 pm

This is my first month at this budgeting thing and I thought I would take a review of my bank account statement to REALLY see where the money goes. So here are the numbers

Car Payment $291
Car Insurance $137.58
Electric $11 Have a credit Pd until March
Rent $1,020
Eating Out $113.59
Clothing $21.18
Gas $36.58
Telephone $53.53
Groceries $42.30
Household Items $81.44
Entertainment $22.00
Debt Payments $269.56
Misc Movie Late Fee $6, Ticket $50 ,Lic Renewal fee $20.80

Grand Total $2,176 I'm working on my budget for the month of February. I think I can cut back especially in Fast Food I never paid any attention to how much I truly spend on eating out. I think its okay for a start.

Have a great Evening!!!

    Looks like you're doing fine but I would definitely try to reduce the eating out, that and clothes are my weakness

    I agree Amber I'm spending wayyyyyy to much on fast food. I hardly ever purchase clothes I was surprised to even have spent any money this month on clothes. I went to a store that was closing and they had a 50% off sale
