Things of note:
See those clothing expenditures? Those are all Peanut. Not me at all! He goes clothes shopping about every other year, and he was seriously due to update his
Sometimes I'm seriously jealous of his ability to wear the exact same thing, day in and day out, in different colors, and that he can wear t-shirts and jeans and hoodies to work every day. Then again, I like dressing up sometimes!
Our household spending was higher than normal due to the restaurant supply stores and estate sales. It'll be high in March, too, because we're doing some painting and furnishing the guest room, but hopefully after that it'll go back down.
It seems like this is a pretty representative month for utilities, our first real idea of what that's going to look like. The breakdown is as follows:
- Peanut cell phone $45
- My cell phone $66
- Home internet $22 (this is a little low; I think it'll usually be around $36)
- City water/sewer/trash $58.25
- Electric $57.25
- Gas $100.26
That's not a bad jump in my opinion. That's pretty reasonable. I could live with that as well.
