So as you can see I went a little overboard with the clothing. But I managed to do pretty good in all the other categories, in my opinion. I managed to pay a huge amount to my student loan. I now only owe around $700 or so, which means I will be able to be finished within the next month to month and a half.

I still spent a lot food, yet at the same time I brought my lunch 12 times this month!! Not really sure how that adds up but oh well. I feel good that I really tried to pack a lunch more often and hopefully I can keep that up next month.

I only had 3 no spending days, but there was a lot of days where I was only spending a few dollars. I also started a new thing where I try not to eat after 7:00 pm. I was able to stick to that for 12 days out of the month as well! Another thing that I am hoping to carry on into next month!

Of course there is always room for improvement but all in all not bad :)
