February Budget

$275 Rent (March - It's due on the 1st)
$180 Car (March - It's due on the 4th)
$83.67 Car Insurance
$250 Dentist
$43.62 Power (lights)
$38 Gas (heat)
$30 Internet
$116.43 Cell
$150 Groceries •••I've used $115.52 so far •••
$30 Savings

$20 Capital One 1
$32 Capital One 2 •••I paid $35.00•••
$40 / $20 Personal Loan (Am only paying half)
$28.00 Gym
$250 Amex (minimum) I am only paying $100 to cover interest
$10 Car Oil (may not have enough $)
$15 Contacts/eyes (may not have enough $)

$1,639.71 Total I would like to pay
$ 3.00 Extra paid to Capital One
$ 1122.23 Paid
$517.48 Left to pay this month


Here's an eyeopener for me!! I didn't realize my monthly budget was so high! I don't make enough at my day job to cover this considering I only bring in about $1200 per month! The rest comes from sidework that I do (selling stuff online, and other little things).

I guess I don't have to put money aside for oil and contacts and I could also spend less on food. I'll see how this month goes.

Regarding my dental bill. The good thing is that I only owe February and March to the dentist and I'm done paying him! I've also been considering selling my car, but that may be several months away if I decide to.

I think I'll plan to cross these off as I pay them for the month. With my last check from January I paid my part of the Power bill and Capital One 2, also part of Amex.
