Tracking My Finances In June: Day 4 (Mom in the hospital edition)
Welcome to How I Save Money and tracking of income and expenses for the month.
Income for the month to date: $12.68
Expenses for the month to date: $87.84
Net effect: -$75.16
I ended up spending $30.84 on phone cards (of which I have only used about $10) to make long distance (out of the country) calls to my mother. She called to tell me that she is in the hospital and there is a good chance that she has cancer on her ovaries. This is coming on the heels of me spending time in the hospital and having fibroids removed in February.
Tracking My Finances In May: 19
Welcome to How I Save Money and tracking of income and expenses for the month.
Income for the month to date: $764.65
Expenses for the month to date: $2566.00
Net effect: -$1801.35
So far the additional expenses have been $18.19 for groceries, which leaves me with a grand total of $25.34 left in my food budget for the month. I did stock up on a few essentials so I do not expect having to go over my food budget for the month. Next month I am going to try to cut the food budget down by $10 so I can move that $10 over to the gas budget.
