Since I won't be spending anything today, I decided to do my April recap. It was really a low-spend month -- $1624 total!
Housing - $460 (No mortgage payment due to refinance - it will kick in tomorrow. This is assessment fees.)
Vacation/Travel - $337 (Mostly train tickets)
Utilities - $218
Fees/Services - $110 (Tollway pass, Sam's Club membership fee, license plate renewal)
Groceries - $95
Gifts/Charity - $90 (Charity donation & Easter gifts for grandkids)
Medical/Health - $83 (Premium, co-pay for specialist, probiotics)
Gas - $58
Furnishings/Equipment/Decor - $51 (Bed pillows, spice organizer)
Phone - $31
Household Supplies - $22 (Toilet paper)
Eating Out/Takeout - $19
Personal - $18
Entertainment - $17
Laundry - $14
Parking - $1
Variables - 106%
So it's weird. My overall spending was low but variables were a little high. I believe that's because my savings were in fixed spending -- most particularly not having to make a mortgage payment.
