I've broken up our expenses into two different categories, based on the due dates.
The list of our monthly expenses.
Tithing to
my Church $130
Rent $525
Car Insurance $62.60
Rental Insurance $15.82
IRA $50
Gas for Car $70
Electricity $50
Gas $40
Total for the 1st $943.42-- leaves me $125 extra for groceries, dr visits, ect.
Tithing to my
Church $130
Cell Phone $30
Savings $25
Internet, Phone,
& TV Bundle $89
Gas for Car $70
Diapers $40
Student Loan #1 $50
Student Loan #2 $206.24
Credit Card #1 $10
Credit Card #2 $106
Credit Card #3 $170
Credit Card #4 $20
Loan payment #1 $ 84
Total for 15th $1030.24 -- gives me $38 for food, unexpected expenses.
After we pay all our bills, we are left with $163 to buy groceries, personal items, pay for medicine, or unexpected dr. visits. Had we not used our credit card, we would have an extra $390 to budget. Add what I pay in Student Loans and that would be an extra $646 per month. If only I could go back in time and tell my young self to STOP BORROWING!
