Budget Review February

This is the first time in a very long time that I came in under budget. Never mind a number of categories are in the red, my overall goal at the end of the month is to not go over the total budget. This is the reason why February was a great if not awesome month.

I am not stringent when it comes to particular categories and really all I use them for is a guide. Like I said, once I can come in under the total, I am a happy dude.

I'm so happy and also feeling quite lazy that I won't even go into great detail about why the categories were over. Just a quick reason.

  • Education - Needed to get a calculator and geometry set.
  • Car repairs - Little things added up but not to bad.
  • Eating out - This is roughly the same as last month. Like I said. $130 isn't totally realistic
  • Gifts - Same as always, I can't say no to some things.
  • Misc - I helped out a little with some house stuff
  • Gas - This deserves special mention because I came in under budget. UNBELIEVABLE.
And that's it.

  1. Nice job on staying in green in your overall budget. That's what I aim for every month. I'm curious how high your gas prices are right now?

  2. That's pretty much how I am with my budget... I will go over in some areas, and go under in others. As long as I can get back in the green (or black), it's all good.
