I just got paid, so let's go ahead and break down how I spend, invest, and budget my paycheck. So the amount that hit my account was $13,849, which is absolutely crazy to say. I like to believe I'm an aggressive investor. So $3,500 leaves my account immediately every month on a buy weekly schedule and it goes into ETFs. I then max out my Roth IRA for the month that's $625. I did buy a car last year so I make my normal month payment of $500. On to the spending, this is my highest spending month by far. I bought a new phone which was $1340. I started a new internship so I spent $620 on work clothes, not too bad considering where I got two suits, two pairs of shoes, tons of button ups and pants. I took a trip to San Francisco with my family. I spent a total of $410 on that trip. I did unfortunately get into a car accident earlier in the month. I had to get my car fixed and I had a deductible of $500 that I had to pay. I did buy the Seiko online which cost me around $200 and then I had to get a service, so another 200 there. I spent way too much on food this month as well, $270 and then 210 on gas. And I wish I was done there because I had to take a long drive, so I had to do a lot of maintenance before the drive, which cost me $150 and then all of the gas and eating through the 12-hour drive I did to a new state, cost me $130. And then my subscriptions of Cloud, I Cloud Storage, Spotify and my gym membership cost it $95. And then other miscellaneous expenses like Mother's Day and my hair cut cost it a total about $175. Which means with my investments included, we spent a total of $8,930 in the month of May. A huge spending month for me, which is something you don't see often as I'm very frugal. But we did have $4,919 left over that I get saved and invested into different accounts. With that being said, I'm very grateful and blessed to cover any unexpected expenses that came my way especially last month. This next month is going to be very different because I moved out on my own. So we'll see what that looks like.
