August Accounting ...

September 1st, 2015 at 02:47 am

So ... it was a spendy month. September and October probably will be too...

Between losing my phone, doing a staycation, celebrating NEs birthday, etc. ... the money flowed.

I did take some money from my slush fund in order to balance the budget (which is the slush funds job in my budget). Mostly it was the unexpected purchase of a new phone that threw things off. My vacation category was mostly wiped out to be put towards the phone, although I did let myself spend some of it on eating out a couple times and a movie.

I'm not really sure what happened with groceries ... I really need to reign that in.

So .. here it is in all it's glory.

Groceries - 177.65
Phone - 18.58
Natural Gas - 21.94
Electricity - 55.25
Fuel - 22.33
Medical - 25.20
Kari - 34.20
Car Care - 82.46
Electronics - 363.91
Household Goods - 15.66
Gifts - 31.38
Movies Out - 5
Treats - 24.20
Restaurants - 33.47
EF - +10% + $50
ROTH - +$200
Slush - -88.94

Extras -
Swagbucks - $50
Pinecone - $15
Receipt Hog - $10
PerkTV - $25 AGC
Bing - $5 AGC
Liberty - $50 Account bonus
Overtime - roughly $70

    Because we were so busy with B's party and then my study unit, I didn't do my in depth tracking like usual, just made sure we stay within budget. Now it's a new month and a whole lot less busy, all normal habits are to be resumed! Wishing you luck with resuming all of your normal habitsSmile

    Thanks Starfishy.

    VS - Thanks Smile I have the feeling that it'll be January before I can totally return to normal. September - December all have things/reasons out of normal spending. Thankfully I have a 3 paycheck month in October!
