Aug. 14th, 2006 11:38 amAs some of you may know, I've been keeping a diary of my expenses in my planner. I figured I'd get around to actually inputting the data into a spreadsheet while my boss was on vacation. Must have been some vacation as I know that she got back Saturday and yet still isn't in today. Anyway, I went ahead and put in some of my expense data to see what I got. I'm currently done with April and May of this year (I only started the diary in April), and what I've learned so far requires a little input from others (just want to see how badly/well I'm doing since I have no way to measure this except 'don't spend more than I get'). Who'd like to volunteer?
( My expenses )
Next, I move onto June, home of the hideously large moving expenses and furnishing expenses. That's also where I had no fridge for a while, so food/diet pepsi (yes, I equate the two in my "needs for living" category) consumption ought to rise. And, if I'm really a big girl after all (despite the sprinkling of freckles I picked up from the sun this weekend, ugh), maybe I can actually set a budget for these things for September. Use the six months before it to plan out how much I spend so I don't overspend. Frankly, I need to save like the blazes because I'm moving into the "Birthday Blitz" period, where everyone I'm related to has a birthday coming up, as does about half of my friends. Crazy!
