a graph and details of mine and the BF spending for the first quarter of 2013..
21.3% in the first three months was put towards savings. 11.2% (of the total income, not the savings amount) was put towards travel. The rest was put towards things like the Christmas fund, eventualy moving fund, appliance fund and the BF holiday fund (cause they don't have holiday pay we need to save it ourselves
2. Home
This is the mortgage payment.
3. Allowance
This is the amount that we put towards ourselves for our allowance. (little surprised about the amount here but when i thought about it)
4. Food
This includes groceries, dining out and booze
5. Auto
Everything including gas, auto insurance and oil changes..
6. Bills
This includes Healthultilies like cell phone, shaw cable, BC Hydro and Bank fees
7. Pets
Mostly pet food but a couple of other accesories for them
8. Health/Personal
This includes things like my nail allowance and hair cuts and medicaitons
9. Debt Repayment
This is everyone under paying off the credit card and line of credit. This does not include the lawyer fund. I didn't count that in the count because that was automatically taken out from my pay. But still.. its a little lower then i hoped it would be but i can increase that hopefully in the next quarter..
So the goals is obviously to stay on budget and pay off the debt. Hopefully put more towards debt repayment and what i can with travel. The lawyer debt is almost paid off so that will help..
So far so good..
