August Spending
August Spending, originally uploaded by Buster Benson.
Spent $20 less in August than July. Which is better than I was expecting due to the fact that we had to eat out every night for 2 weeks during the time that our windows were being replaced and our kitchen was out of commission.
Other interesting facts:
- $300 less on home stuff
- $550 more on restaurants
- $260 less on groceries
- $200 more on bars
- $140 less on yoga
- $260 less on ATM cash
Weird to watch how life events play out in categories of spending.
Still trying to hit that magical 50% reduction in spending from May. About 13% to go.

What program due you use to track your finances/make those spiffy graphs?

I use mint.com and then manually import the category totals into Google Spreadsheets and make a chart from there.
