Weekly Budget – Week 7 (July 7 – 13)
By Matt - Monday, July 7th, 2008
I’m actually surprised how long it’s taken to get everything back into a state of being somewhat organized and back to normal. I never thought the move would have been so disruptive to my day to day life even a week after move day! I have been diligently keeping receipts but I haven’t been keeping as close tabs online. This is a new week with a new budget which means I restart everything and get back on track.
I’ve adjusted a few numbers this week though overall it’s pretty similar to the past couple weeks. I am expecting that most categories will be about the same with the exception being that I am expecting more in gas costs this week due to some work travel. I am expecting to get reimbursed for my travel this week which should be nice. This week’s budget is as follows:
| Weekly Budget July 7-13 |
||
| Budget | Actual | |
| Alcohol | $25.00 | |
| Food-Lunch | $25.00 | |
| Food | $100.00 | |
| Gas | $80.00 | |
| Entertainment | $0.00 | |
| Smokes | $30.00 | |
| Misc | $50.00 | |
| Transportation | $25.00 | |
| Total | $335.00 | |
I think these numbers are quite realistic and I am planning on reviewing my past budgets and where I have deviated from the budget in an effort to get a string of solid attainable budgets going.

Thanks for the vote of confidence Bunny, I know I can. I’ll get my brain around it and stop spending money.
