July: My first budgeting Month

This is the first full month I will be living in my apartment. I have talked out my finances with my dad and I will begin my budget. It will take me about $1200 to live. I added an extra $100 as a cushion because I would rather have a little more and save rather than go hungry.

Here's the Breakdown:

$715 Rent
$100 (max) utilities
$65-130 Groceries
$30 Internet Usage
$30 Cell Phone


One area where I can improve on is the grocery area, but as a bad fast food addict, right now, my goal is to eat at home and learn how to cook.
