Basic Gains and Expenses, budget, and personal wants

Sep 22, 2006 15:47

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

Ahh! Steve! You are all grow'd up now!
Ahhh. Next year for me...

And we are both in the same boat. I really want a bass guitar as well :P
And music theory lessons so I don't die when I get to Uni.

Did you take Math C30... I really want to drop it because I am doing so bad :(

I am having deja vu for some reason... ok it passed.

COME SEE THE PLAY IN NOVEMBER!!!
We are preforming 4 nights! :D

Miiiissssss yewwwwwwww!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hate being grow'd up!!! :'(
Blah, you don't need music theory lessons. You already know basic theory! You play Saxomophone, after all! I guess actually being taught theory directly might be of use, but just as long as you know the basics, you shouldn't have trouble, I'm sure! :) And no, I didn't take C30... I barely passed A30 as it is, heh.
I'll come and see your play for 10 bucks, if you come and see mine for... 25? (Or more?) Lol. Yeah, I finally got a schedule and so long as one of them is on a saturday (which I'm positive it is) I can make it! So I'll be there, don't you worry!
Btw: I forgot to mention, sure, e-mail is cool. Once I get a library card in Regina (and restart that hotmail account of mine), I'll take you up on that!

..Hmm.. I'm thinking your esimate for your rent is a little too low.. and the food one.. definitely too low.. ask your mom how much she spends on food each month, add a little bit.. then divide by three that's how much food you guys will probably eat.. probably atleast $250.00 a month.. each.

:)

[Btw.. I have no idea what that smiley face is there for..] :P

I wasn't estimating all three, just myself. The other guys aren't gonna be there, so I'll be pretty much the only one eating and cooking... almost ever (minus weekends). My mom Spends 250 on average for every two weeks for all four of us, so multiply that by two (four weeks in a month) and divide by three (so that it's just for me) and you get 166.6 (repeated). I guess I rounded down a bit, but still!

I forgot to mention. The rent (for the place on college) is about... 600 I think Matt said. Divided by three is 200 bucks. I had no idea what to guess for water though. 100 make sense?

Okay, first thing's first... As much as your mother spends, you'll spend more. Cooking for four is not cooking for one. You can't buy in bulk because it goes to waste (you don't eat it fast enough). So you have to buy in smaller quantities, this means more expensive. Food gets pretty damn expensive. If you want to eat HEALTHY, it gets more expensive. I'd guestimate anywhere from $100-$300 for food monthly. Depending on leftover preserved foods (ramen packets, canned soups, frozen pizzas/TV dinners, etc ( ... )

I'm not buying you a bass guitar or a video camera. If I buy a video camera, it's going to be for me.
