The Third 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 we are looking at:

Transportation: $128.50

Food: $63.52

Entertainment: $23.65

Clothes/Gifts: $30.00

Everything else: $23.00

This budget really seems to be working out well so far.  Although, as shown by our fumble last week, it doesn't give a lot of room for unexpected expenses.  Which is why it is not a long term solution for us.  Just a Spartan budget to get us to our convention in California.  After that we will give ourselves more spending money.  Unless we decided to save for a trip back to Asia...
