Biggest budget spending categories

[marvholly]

Biggest single item is my real estate taxes.

This was an unusual year in that I had MAJOR house expenses replacing my a/c, a tv, my fridge and had to have a tree removed-so 2nd biggest item.

third item is my house insurance.

I will be pricing out auto & house insurance this spring. Need to get them BOTH down.
