Basic Gains and Expenses, budget, and personal wants
In an attempt to organize my life, I'm doing all my $$$ stuff now, before I start whining to my parents for money. Ok, I'm making this an LJ update for two reasons: One: I haven't updated in forever, and two... the personal wants section. ^_^ Blah, nevermind, anyway... here goes
Total Budget (Gross): 325.00/week = 1300.00/month (approx)
Expenses
Assuming we get the place on College;
Rent: (guestimate) 200.00/month + Water 100.00/month.
Food: (guestimate) 150.00/month.
Paying back parents ($100 off of each check): 200.00/month.
"Fun" money: 150.00/month.
Accident money: 150.00/month
Phone: 75.00/month (my dad's estimate)
Cell: 50.00/month (my dad's estimate)
Overall expenses: 1075.00/month (Approx)
Minus total budget makes: 225.00/month leftover (approx, and remember: it's gross)
wait... that doesn't make sense. It seems like too much leftover. :S Could someone give me an explanation where I went wrong? (Rent's low cause there's three of us, unless Chantal joins us again which will make four, which'll lower it even more! *glee*)
Also, I better factor in these:
My current bank account: -$2.??,
Off-contract shows (Carol, Pay me Damnit!): +$275.00
Selling Drumset: +...200.00? (maybe more, maybe less)
And finally, the "Personal wants" section... heh heh. If a group of people are thinking of pitching in together for a christmas gift for me *hint hint Johanna!* this is the list to look at!
Bass guitar (possibly plus amp and books and stuff): $300-500.00
Video Camera: $400-600.00
Other stuff that I just can't think of right now are here too. When I think of'm, I'll add them. :D
voila. The deed is done. So, if you survived this boring factorical thing: congrats! I'm surprised I finished writing it! Now, off to cleaning my room!
