*Student loan #1 is only $140 not sure why I have $170 in there. End of month update will show the correct amount.
This is what a normal budget is going to look like for me aside from a few things.
- My rent is normally $400 but because my boyfriend owed me $90 we just lowered my rent for the month.
- My cell phone (which is pay & talk) is set to auto bill from credit card #1. So it shows up twice in the budget
- Hair cut and nail polish are not going to be regular items. I won a photo session for this month and seeing as my hair hasn't been cut in a really long time I thought it was appropriate to get it looking good. There's 2 nail polishes I really want and if I don't get them for my birthday I'll use some birthday money to purchase them.
- I don't have a food category because my rent money goes towards bills and groceries. My boyfriend pays for all the groceries and utilities and my rent goes towards that.
- Spending cash is what I'm giving myself to spend on whatever I want. If I want to eat out it has to come from that money.
Goals
- Limit my credit card spending. Now that I have an income again I really just want to spend spend spend. I'm going to try and live on cash and really limit what I put on my credit card.
- Drink 4 cups of water a day. I understand that this is important for my body and that 8 would be best but I know that if I try to do 8 right away I'm going to fail.
- Continue to blog regularly. It might not be everyday but I do have lots to talk about so hopefully this won't be an issue.
If you like my budget layout and inspiration I got it here: http://blondeonabudget.ca/budget-template/
I created my own categories and added my own colors. I then imported it into Google Docs to be able to post to the blog.
What's your goals for June?
