This has been a much harder task than I anticipated to begin with. I am also struggling with being completely honest with my spending. I know in the end it will be a good thing to have and to be able to track for at least a month will give me the raw data that I need. I am including the category\u00a0that spending is from and a category total at the end for my references as well. This makes more sense than total spending as even this week was actually in two separate months.<\/p>\n

Totals: Family\u00a0 $233.90 for this week and $318 for 2 weeks (budget is 250).\u00a0 So that is my savings from last week as well.<\/p>\n
Gas\u00a0 $265 (this is a month budget $500 , but April total was $369)<\/p>\n
Groceries $154.39 (also monthly I was WAY over in April)<\/p>\n
My spending $21.61 (this pay period was $40)<\/p>\n
Total for week $675<\/p>\n
So in reality I am down to $10 in savings….. I am hopeful that we can spend less next week for sure!<\/p>\n
