Though, after saying that, I am going to be going away in a couple of days (3 to be exact). It's going to be wonderful. I will also be the only attached friend there... that should be fun. But hopefully won't be spending too much, another friend, TS didn't really want to spend over $80. Could be done, accommodation split between us all is about $47, maybe cheaper if more people come. We'll see. Definitely keep you posted.
So. The goals:
June Goals
- Read 2 books.
- Watch 15(+) movies.
- Work 15(+) hours/week.
- Save 20%/$40 each week.
- One "splurge"/purchase a week (if/when paid).
- Weekly blogging (on both blogs) & (private) journaling.
- Three meals a day/decent wake ups (to do this = food blog)
Spendings Round-up!
I find it so difficult to classify things. I'm not sure if it's the perfectionist/Virgo in me but I want the categories to be super detailed.... then I wonder does it really need to be that detailed? My current categories (that I have listed for June onwards) are:
- Dining+Bars (with friends)
- Dining BF (with boyfriend)
- Homewares
- Monthly (expenses such as mobile top up, magazine purchase and car insurance but that is filed under car costs... what do you think, should it be filed under monthly or car costs?)
- Car Costs (purchases retlated to my car such as most recently jump start cables, maintenance, WOF, registration etc)
- Clothes+Grooming (beauty, clothes and the like purchases)
- Gifts
- Savings
- Groceries (purchases from the supermarket to make dinner and other things such as snacks and such)
- Dairy buys (purchases from the dairy, usually when I require money for the bus.... or like recently water from the service station. Should this just be under a combined "food+groceries" category? Justification for this is that I want to target my spendings and know exactly where to cut back/where I am buying foods from.... hmm)
- Biscuit (purchases related to my pet guinea pig, usually just vegetables, pellets, hay, check ups etc)
- Transport (fuel purchases and bus/train tickets)
- Socializing (I contemplated having this under entertainment but in the past I have had magazine purchases and also book buys under the entertainment category... socialising is things like karaoke, pool etc. Hmm. Advice?)
- Holidays (thought I ought to have a 'holidays' category...)
- Meals Out (breakfast, lunch and dinners that are purchased/had outside of the home... or should that also go under a combined "food+groceries" category?)
- Debts (very unusual but yeah, self-explanatory)
So that is how things are categorized from now on for me and well, how I categorize.. May summary under the cut.
