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.

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

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