September Budget

 So this is September's budget and well any budget for the foreseeable future. I went back to work to quickly and took a little covid relapse. So the new plan is to work 4 to 5 hours a day. Increasing as I feel healthy enough.

House: 545

Electric/gas: 123

Phone: 80

Internet: 63

Gas/Grocery: 58

CSA: 38

Milk Share: 40

Hair cut: 32

Netflix/peacock: 21

Total: $1000


Now this is my almost bare bones budget. If I needed to be bare bones I would drop another $125 by cutting hair cuts, netflix, some of my milk share etc.

As my health increases and I can work more I will need to save about $4000 a year or $333 a month to go towards vet bills/ dog food, house and car insurance, canning supplies, gardening supplies, bulk food, 1/8 cow or 1/4 pig and chickens for the year etc

Once those expenses are met, then I plan to add about $4000 a year or $333 a month into my emergency fund, which has become woefully small.

Then anything that comes in after that can be for extra spending and more savings.

The more simple and smaller I can make things the better it is for me.
