Life after college: the budget challenge

02Aug09

So as I am trying to look for a good full time job, I am trying to see if I could possibly live off a 1000 dollar budget. So the challenge is to see if I can survive the month with the following:

– 60 dollars in eating out (currently at 40.21)

– 40 dollars in entertainment (current at 30.00)

– 100 dollars in grocery purchases (ok so there is free food at the dormitory but right now I’m counting the purchases I get not from my dorm)

– 55 dollars in misc (extremely vague)

Anyways today’s spending:

Groceries:

100 – 12.99 (hot coco–shocking I know) = 87.01 remaining

Misc:

55 – 4.49 (rose water toner) – 0.44 (in tax) = 50.07 remaining
