New Budget

I sat down today and wrote out a new budget. I didn't really think our current one was accurate. Here are the results.

Rent-$715
Groceries/Household-$200
Electric/Heat-$130
Cells/$100
Water-$45
Home phone-$25
Credit-$400
Gas-$100
Misc-$100
Savings-$200

Hopefully this work okay for us. I know the credit is a little on the high side, but I'm trying to pay it all off by this time next year. Wish me luck on making this budget work.

  1. You read my mind. I have a really strict budget and it's just not working. We have no wiggle room at all. So I think that I will be reworking it today, maybe.

  2. I definitely agree on trying not to make your budget too strick. I did the same in the begining and we too had to readjust to stay sain! Congradulations! I hope this one works out for you! I think that it's great that you are in this state of mind! I'm 30 now and didn't get gung ho on this whole budget thing until 3 years ago...so being your age is definitely going to give you a great head start! Let me know how it goes!
