Re: What does your budget look like???
Okay, I'll jump in.
Single girl, two small dogs, making about $3300 net a month.
760 Mortgage
100 Entertainment
60 Food : Dining Out
180 Food : Groceries
70 Personal Care
40 Pet care
50 Household
65 Bills : Cable/Satellite Television
170 Bills : Electricity
50 Bills : Online/Internet Service
60 Bills : Student Loan Payment
35 Bills : Telephone
30 Bills : Water & Sewer
85 Automobile : Gasoline
60 Insurance : Automobile
600 Savings : Emergency Fund
500 Savings : Home repairs, taxes, insurance
200 Savings : Splurge Fund
3,115 Total Expenses
There are some cateogies that are suspiciously missing, but I use my savings for them. Healthcare comes out of the emergency fund, and clothing or other purchases come out of my splurge fund. I don't feel like shopping every month, so I save it up so I can go on a hell of a spree without regret. I also save in my company 401k, but since it's not net income I don't count it.
