The March Budget Breakdown

It’s that time again.

Some good ole budget accountability and fun!

A recap from last time…In these posts we will write-up typical expenses that may get overlooked for the particular month. Then we have a photo link up portion where YOU can upload a photo of your budget committee meeting for the month!

So, what expenses might you expect in the month of March?

• Vehicle Maintenance
  • Tires
  • Windshield Wipers
  • Oil Change
  • Vehicle Registration and Title Costs
• St. Patrick’s Day
  • Festive Meal
  • Party
• Fish Fry
  • Entrance Fees
• Spring Break expenses
  • Travel
  • Food
  • Activities
• March Madness
  • Parties
  • Food at Restaurants/Bars
• Easter
  • Travel
  • Gifts for family/friends becoming Catholic
• Spring Cleaning Supplies
  • Mop, Broom, Vacuum
  • Organizational boxes
  • Filing Cabinet
• Expenses Related to Taxes
  • Accountant/CPA
  • Turbo Tax, etc.
  • E-Filing Fees

Again, these are some expenses we’ve found ourselves budgeting for this month, so they might be applicable to you or not. Some of these expenses are best budgeted for as a sinking fund.

However, we purchased a van this month (in the budget) and have to pay registration/title fees which we didn’t have a sinking fund set up for. Therefore, we have to shuffle our budget around to accommodate this cost. It will be a tight month but because of budgeting, we have the freedom to make it all balance and have peace that it will all work out.

Now it’s time for your part!
