Well, friends, the month has finally come to a close, and what a month it's been! There have been a lot of extraneous expenses this month that I will not have to pay in the future months of this year, and it has been extremely difficult to make ends meet. On top of the rent that I already pay, I also had to pay a security deposit of $150.00 on my apartment. However, after budgeting carefully, I ended up spending $1,636.93 on all of my monthly expenses. My budget was 1,840 and so I had plenty of money left over to put into savings to hold for a rainy day, on TOP of the $100.00 that I had already put into savings from my paycheck. Yay for financial security!
