September Spends
As September comes to and we can take a look at how my spending habits kept me on track. I hope visualizing spending like this will help you to take control of your spending & finances as a whole.

Income
Overall, great month. Happy with the income and nothing really to complain about aside from wishing it was higher. $500 in unexpected income was a nice touch.
Expenses
My total expenses for the month were about 60% of my total income with 31% of that being solely dedicated to rent.
I was also able to keep an extra $499 of remaining expense which I will never complain about. Any month in which I do not exceed my budgeted expenses, is a win.

Savings
For the month of September I was able to save 28.7% of my income. Incredibly happy with this number and all I will ever do is focus on bumping this number up!
Moving Forward
I had a great month, sticking with the plan, keeping savings high and expenses low and monitoring some of the buckets that keep getting out of hand.
Have a great October!
