It is time once again to review my finances. I have not done a monthly review in a while so this seems like a good time to do it.

Usually when I have done the monthly review I would post actual figures. This month I will just speak about the general categories since the dollar amounts have already been posted in the weekly updates.

Biggest outflow

The biggest outflow for the month was housing. This was to be expected since my rent is a bit high right now compared to my income.

2018 June spending

Smallest outflow

The smallest outflow for the month was Financial, which is included in Other. I ended up paying for some professional dues that will help in my future career.

Over budget category

The category where I went over budget was food and dining. I keep this category as restaurants and it does not include regular groceries. I did go out to eat a lot last month for various reasons.

General comments

I was able to stay under the total monthly budget even with going over in one category. This was possible because I do stay under budget in other categories by carefully tracking what I spend.
