I've paid my bills, and I still have savings, though quite reduced. At least I can take comfort in knowing I had the money to pay them. And I have a new (to me) car.
Here is my spending last month:
Furnishings/Equipment/Decor - $9244
Fees/Services - $2257
Housing - $1105
Insurance - $687
Medical/Health - $227
Utilities - $164
Vet/Pet Supplies - $91
Groceries - $89
Gas - $89
Eating Out - $77
Gifts/Charity - $73
Phone - $52
Clothing/Accessories - $24
Entertainment - $22
Laundry - $12
Fares/Parking - $5
Personal - $3
Grand Total - $14,221
Of course, the "equipment" in the first category was the car. Most of it, anyway.
And most of the fees and services were related: warranty, license plates, wheel tax.
I had to pay assessment fees twice this month.
My semi-annual insurance came due, and it reflected the expected jump from insuring an old car to insuring a newer one.
I had a dentist's appoint and an eye appointment.
I took Iggy to the vet.
Gas was higher due not only to prices but more driving as I cart the grandsons around.
It was just a killer month.
Gap Year is now in full swing, and my savings have been hit hard. Just what i didn't want to happen. But I am confident that most of my hurdles have been conquered, and the future will be frugal, but fine.
