Default Re: What does your budget look like???

For 2 adults and one dog:


Debt reduction $800
Mortgage (taxes and insurance included) $1400
Cells (both) $113
Phone $35
State Farm (my car insurance and life) $181
DH's Truck $483 (not my idea...)
Truck gas $425 (long commute and bad MPG)
Truck Insurance $143
Storage unit $100 (going away after this month!)
Prescriptions $50
Water $20
Electric/Gas $200 (average total for both)
Cable/Internet $113
Netflix $15
My car $0 (paid off, baby!)
My gas $120
Food $400
Houshold stuff $40 (cleaning products etc.)

That's what our base pay covers. Extra's like vacations, home improvment, eating out, gifts, etc. come out of Tim's overtime and my year end bonus and are budgeted monthly, depending on how much we get.
