How I spent over 3.7k in April 😱
2 min read
April has been a super spending money, especially compared to last month where I spent 7% more.
According to my spending dashboard, over 86% of my spending were on "needs", however there has been a lifestyle creep, where close to 14% were on "wants".
Most of my lifestyle creep comes from going back to the office to work, where I go out for lunch and catch up with friends after work. I also did some shopping and bought some new gym clothes as I've been going almost every single day and didn't have enough clothes in between washes to wear!
How I spent my money 💸
Property was my biggest expense this month of around $2000.
Expenses that fell in this category include:
🏠 Mortgage - $1,862
💡 Utilities - $107.42
🌐 Internet - $65.32

This month's spending has gone up quite a bit in comparison to last month, particularly on "wants".
Most of these "wants" attributed to eating out, and although most were with friends, a lot of it could've been cut out such as coffee and buying food when I'm at work instead of making my own.
Keeping this in mind, I'm hoping to have a quieter May so I can be healthier and save more money!
