Live Simple

Simple living is having less without being deprived. Why would you want to keep up with the Joneses? They are carrying tons of debt and fight about money all the time. Better to have less and actually own it.

The Fifth Week


Into the jars went $160.00 in cash for our variable expenses for the next week:

Transportation: $52.00
Food: $55.00
Entertainment: $20.00
Clothes/Gifts: $10.00
Everything else: $23.00

Added to the cash from last week the jars contain:

Transportation: $91.08
Food: $61.86
Entertainment: $32.37
Clothes/Gifts: $15.14
Everything else: $70.00

We threw an extra dollar into the Everything else jar so that it would be an even $70, mostly because we couldn’t make change to have it at $69.  There shouldn’t be anything too crazy this week.  Spending should be back to normal for the time being.  Still saving away for California but getting closer each cheque.  Hopefully we will buy our tickets in the next couple weeks.
