June expenses came in just a shade over budget for the month. I'm a little frustrated that I can't keep things more consistent from month to month, but overall I am pleased to be under budget for the year.
Camping: This is my biggest month so far this year but I expected to spend more in summer months because I planned to visit more national parks (Yellowstone, Grand Tetons and Craters of the Moon in June). Even still, I came in under budget and am averaging just $250 per month / $8 per night. Not bad!
Fuel: I drove more miles in June but gas prices are still a fair amount lower than I budgeted so I only spent about half of what I expected.
Groceries / Dining Out: This continues to be a bigger expense than I budgeted for. Last month it was groceries that were way over budget. This month it was dining out. I need to figure this one out!
Utilities: With my new unlimited data plan, this next month should look a lot better but June was huge. I've cut my Verizon plan down to 4 GB and am planning to eliminate my T-Mobile plan all together.
Those are the highlights. We'll see what July brings . . .
