Under or Over My Budget???

I know everyone is dying to find out how my budget went since I increased my miscellaneous spending.  Well here it is:

		Budget	Actual	Difference
Gasoline		175	135	40
Groceries		250	249	1
Fast Food		130	178	-48
Clothing/Shoes		133	115	18
General Merchandise		350	237	113
Misc Total				$124

 

I came under budget in everything except fast food.  Woohoo! It feels good not to have to juggle around my debt payments and savings in order to account for overspending from an unrealistic budget.  What am I going to do with that all that extra money?  Well, $25 is going into a savings account and $90 is going to pay for my tag. 

Now what helped?  I put off doing any shopping until two weeks into the month.  This included grocery shopping. 

Coming Soon: Net worth statement.  There was a big Increase from February to March!  I am ever so proud.
