May 2008 Budget roundup

I did absolutely BAD this month as I went over budget by 541.81 ( no idea how I spent that much). This week the electricity bill was way less than usual and I could not save that $200 but instead of ended up spending that $200 and on top of that another $541.81? Groceries were also high for the month of May since we went camping and I volunteered to do groceries for another family but never got paid back. ( lesson learnt – don’t volunteer from next campimg trip-let them do their own groceries). I also spent about $100 on my newly acquired hobby which I am planning to bring income from it in future.

However, I could have controlled the money that I spent in Personal category which I did not. So, moving forward from the month of Jun I will break down the personal into sub category so that I will have a clue as where I am  spending the most …….but for now here is my May round up. Goal for Jun, spend less on personal and groceries.
