    Talking 1st Quarter Report 2007-Under Budget!

    For January, February and March here's what we spent.
    Budgeted Spent
    Mortgage: 1212/1212
    Car Payment: 903/903
    Electric: 255/173
    Natural Gas: 255/402
    Telephone,
    Cells, Internet 135/151
    Gas/Cars: 300/235
    Groceries: 675/574
    Personal: 75/25
    Home Products: 75/101
    Medical: 135/52
    Water/Sewer: 135/135
    Car Insurance: 495/1018
    Pocket $: 150/150
    Clothes: 75/51
    Gifts: 75/75
    Entertainment: 150/90
    Education: 150/16
    Vacation: 249/124
    Property Taxes: 549/527
    Home Insurance: 75/0
    Other: 150/191

    Total Budgeted: $6273 Total Spent: $6205
    ~Plus~
    Debt Reduction: $242 Savings Challenges: $700 401K: $818

    I'll be shopping for cheaper car insurance in May that's for sure. The huge number is the premium for 6 months. 30%(7% of which went to our retirement fund) of our gross income is taken out before we get it. I think we should look into having less taken out. We spent just 53% of our gross on bills and expenses. Wow! Even I'm shocked by that! I wanna do a happy dance!

    Wish our gas consumption was so low, Jacks job is a little over an hour drive round trip & dd's away at college, student teaching a ways away & we pay her gas. Me, I only go out about once a week.
