Had to buy gas today on the DC: $20

Was VERY tempted to stop for a cup of coffee this morning, because I had a rough night and had to get up early for work. But I trooped it out and saved $1 by making the effort to make my coffee at home.

Since I have tomorrow off and therefore a little free time tonight, I thought I'd check in on the monthly budget and see where I am:

On the left is the actual amount for this month, on the right is the budgeted amount.

=Income=
Paycheck: $1075.66 / $2,090.00
Extra Income: $5.10 / $0

=Expenses=
Entertainment/Fun: $8.50 / $10
Health/Dental/Vision: $56.76 / $108
401K: $0 / $85
Rent: $875 / $875
Household Supplies: $20.55 / $10
Food: $36.65 / $70
Gas: $165.01 / $355
Bank Fees: $46 / $0
Pet Supplies: $44.53 / $50

Notes: Along with this, I decided to update my budget to include $10 in "fun" money every month. This month, I've used it to get film developed, but I don't feel like it belongs in the "Household Supplies" category. Speaking of Household Supplies, I am already over budget, but primarily because of a book of stamps and some shipping supplies, which will last me a while. Food & Gas seem to be in okay shape, as long as I cut the eating out the rest of this month and make smart grocery purchases. I'll probably end up being over in Pet Supplies too, because I'm only $6 away now, and I need to get some kitty pan liners & more dog food eventually.

Overall, I'd call it so-so, but I've still got plenty of categories that I haven't encountered yet this month (utilities, etc.).

Puppy Update: He has had two accidents today, but I think they are my fault. I was arguing with BF on the phone earlier and probably didn't notice his signs of needing to go out. He's sleeping now, but I'm preparing to take him out again shortly to prevent any more.
-----------------------------------------

I guess I should start checking in on my monthly variable bills to see where they stand, I'll have a separate post if I end up actually paying anything.

Hope everyone is having a good weekend... only 17 more days until BF moves in by the way!
