Welcome to How I Save Money and tracking of income and expenses for the month.
Income for the month to date: $204.53
Expenses for the month to date: $1255.79
Net effect: -$1051.26
I found a penny on the floor at CVS so that goes into my found money fund. I actually have some paper that I use to roll my coins and will be taking the coins in for deposit as soon as the roll is full.
I bought a pair of pants for $7.45 at the $6 Fashion Outlet that I will be using for work. I wanted to get some tops as well but I did not like the selection that I saw. I spent $20.21 on food but since it was being used at Honey’s place instead of in my home I put it under my miscellaneous spending instead of my food spending. I will not be using the food at my place and depending on how much time I spend here I might not even get to eat some of it so that is why it is separated.
I will see you guys and gals later as I continue my journey to save money and become debt free!!!!
Wow, I don’t keep track of coins that I find on the ground or floor, and just put them in my pocket. It might be interesting how much a person would collect, but I doubt it would be more than a dollar or two per year.
I sure hope you have more income coming for this month. Expense to income ratio does not look that good.
@ Wyche128:
I get paid on the last day of the month so my income will be updated then. It always freaks people out to see my figures….but I do get a salary at the end of the month.
