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 $870/month which gives me some money for discretionary spending, or miscalculations on the budget.
