I was under in a few categories and over in others. I think all my variable expenses pretty much evened out. I didn't put too much towards my student loan or savings this month,because I put more to the trip fund. Oh, and the main reason I spent so much on makeup was because the MAC loves Hello Kitty collection came out which I had been waiting for and I spent about $80 on that!

Here's how I did on my goals for the month:

Goals:

1. Bring lunch to work atleast 10 days of the month.
