What a month this was. Not only did I have the vacation in Oregon, but I just got back from a long weekend at my brother's house. I went up to attend a memorial service for my sister's ex-husband. In addition to that, we did some eating out, and of course there was gas to buy.
And then there was the semi-annual auto insurance payment.
Here is how it all broke down:
Insurance - $1180
Housing - $769
Vacation/Travel - $631
Utilities - $201
Fees/Services - $190 (Traffic ticket and legal fee)
Medical/Health - $81
Entertainment - $64
Gifts/Charity - $44
Groceries - $38
Phone - $38
Gas - $29
Personal - $27
Household Supplies - $22
Laundry - $16
Eating Out/Takeout - $9
Car Washes - $6
Grand Total - $3345
My variables this month ended up at 110% spent.
The bright spot was that with all the traveling I didn't buy much in the way of groceries.

Yes, your expenses were over budget, but I'm sure you'll have some months where expenses are under, so it should even out in the end.
