March was an interesting month for me. On the one hand, it felt like it went by in the blink of an eye. On the other hand, with all the upheaval and uncertainty that’s been going on in the world, it sometimes felt like time slowed down to a snail’s pace.

Despite everything going on, I’m happy to report that March was a relatively low-spend month for me. Here’s a breakdown of where my money went:

Monthly Bills: $800

This includes rent, utilities, internet, and insurance.

Groceries: $200

I’ve been trying to eat healthier lately, so I’ve been spending a little more on groceries than I used to. However, I’ve also been meal prepping more, which has helped cut down on food waste and save money in the long run.

Restaurants: $100

While I’ve been cooking more at home, there were a few times when I either didn’t have time to cook or just didn’t feel like it. That’s where the $100 in restaurant spending comes in. I tried to make sure most of these meals were affordable options like Chipotle or Asian takeout.

Entertainment: $50

This includes going to the movies, buying books, and going out with friends. I’m trying to cut down on entertainment spending, so this category will probably go down in the coming months.

Miscellaneous: $150

This is where I put things like clothes, household items, and gifts. I didn’t have any big expenses in this category this month, but I did pick up some new running shoes and a few gifts for friends.

Total Spending: $1,300

All in all, I’m pretty happy with how March turned out. I was able to keep my spending relatively low while still enjoying my life. Looking ahead to April, I’m hoping to continue this trend and maybe even save a little more money.
