Expense: February 2008

Tomorrow is the last day of February and I don't plan on spending any money, so I'm doing my February expense now.

	Dec 2007	Jan 2008	Feb 2008
Total Spend	$1,150.50	$1,847.00	$1,923.74
Avg Spend	$37.11	$61.57	$66.34

The three month spending trend is going upward. The average spend in January jumped 66% from December last year. This was because I made a $500 donation. February had a 79% increase comparing to December last year because I paid $534.26 car insurance premium for my parents. It is time to cut my expenses. I'm paying $805 for my 1-1 apartment as of now, and as the lease is up (June 1st), I will definitely look for a cheaper place ($600 is what I'm shooting for.) That means an extra $205 per month for investing. Another thing needs to take note is that my grocery spend seems to be going up ever since I got the Costco membership. This is not good. Since I just did my grocery shopping for March, I expect my March grocery spending goes down.
