This month I came in $1681.17 in the red. I was expecting to have a negative cash flow because of the job loss so that was something to keep in mind.
Areas where I remained under budget are:
-Shopping : I remained at $66.65 under my shopping budget. This budget includes household items, clothing and personal items.
– Home: As usual, I remained under my home budget for the month, based on the rent and water bills.
– Utilities: I stayed under my utilities budget to the tune of $42.26, even though the electric bill still needs to come down.
Areas where I went over budget are:
– Food: I overspent on my food budget by $17.82 which was not too bad.
– Auto: I had to draw on the Lexus Fund to pay for some repairs to the car, including replacing the drive belt.
– Health: I once again spent more than I had budgeted for because of paying for COBRA insurance.
I am still looking for new employment and I am trying to line something up but due to my particular circumstances I cannot go into detail about that yet.
I am also looking forward to having happy Valentine’s day even though I am not in the position I would like to be.
