So far this month we have spent $2,882.25.
This is the break-down:
Entertainment: $24.85 of $300.00 budgeted ($275.15 remaining).
Eating out: $96.57 of $300.00 budgeted ($203.43 remaining).
Groceries: $32.06 of $200.00 budgeted ($167.94 remaining).
Household: $321.70 of $752.32 budgeted ($430.62 remaining).
Motgages: $2,053.21 of $2,053.21 budgeted ($0 remaining).
Miscellaneous: $99.74 which wasn't budgeted (-$99.74).
Projects: $122.40 of $50.00 budgeted (-$72.40).
Vehicles: $131.72 of $480.00 budgeted ($348.28 remaining).
Total Spent: $2,882.25 of $4,142.00 ($1,259.75 remaining)
So, a third of the way through the month and there are some expected changes. Since we're not going to Vegas, the entertainment and eating out sections should be lower, though groceries may be a little higher to compensate. We've spent almost a third of the fuel budget (D was tuning his car, which spent a bit extra.) In planning, this did include the fuel for a trip to Vegas, so should have been lowered accordingly. Mortgages are paid, but we've spent more on miscellaneous and projects than I had budgeted.
So far, not too bad. I have about $175.00 to make up for that wasn't budgeted. I over budgeted in a couple areas, so it should be okay. It would have been nice to have had the over budgeted money as extra at the end of the month to put towards our credit line or mortgage payments. Or just have a little in savings for a cushion.
