My expenses are just that – expenses. One may question whether I need everything I have, but every three months, I justify my bills. This means I audit myself and ask am I benefiting from this expense. If the answer is no – I will likely terminate the service. To keep things simple, I would groups a couple sets of bills into a category. For example. all of my telephone services are grouped together as telephone. Everything all together will equate to about $625/month which gives me some money for discretionary spending, or miscalculations on the budget. All of my bills are listed as below and rounded up to the next $5 increment:
- Amazon Prime: $10/month
- Annual: $165/month
- Apple Care+: $15/month
- Food: SNAP
- Hygiene: $15/month
- Internet: $20/month
- Rent: $265/month
- Spotify: $15/month
- Telephone: $75/month
- Transportation: $60/month
