I know that I have a few new upcoming purchases - the portion of meds that my insurance won't cover (10%), and I'd like to save up to join a running program in the spring, so I've factored those amounts into my budget.
Today I'm working on my 2011 goals and then spending time with friends at a movie (I have a free movie coupon - yey) and coffee house afterwards to catch up on what we didn't talk about yesterday.
You have really broken your spending down to the penny. What about the clothing allocation space, do you plan not to spend any amount on clothing?
ReplyDeleteGreat if you can do it. I received over $100.00 in Value Village gift certificates so I'm probably set for the year.
The running program sounds like a great idea.
All the best in the New Year.
I'm not planning on buying any clothing/accessories until the Spring - Boxing Day I spent about $250 on various pieces. In the new year I'm planning on doing an inventory of everything I own.
ReplyDeleteI have a walk in closet plus two dressers of clothing, so I know that I don't need a thing!
