There is a new budget, it is being conducted whilst we’re living in Tokyo and it is 2017.
As such the title of this blog post is, ‘new budget: tokyo 2017’. Very snappy!
So, we have the categories as follows:
- rent ¥125,000
- savings
- bills – electric, water, gas, mobiles and internet ¥50,000
- supermarket ¥30,000
- eating out/leisure ¥40,000
- husband ¥40,000
- emily (that’s me) ¥70,000
- travel ¥10,000
- miscellaneous ¥20,000
Savings separates into a few different categories:
- christmas – presents we buy ¥10,000
- christmas – to my mum for family ¥3,000
- unexpected ¥5,000
- travel ¥25,000
- savings – not to be spent
I want to say, we have given ourselves a lot more money in some of the categories than I anticipate we are actually going to spend. However, it’s all a trial and error sort of thing, so you know, it can be adjusted.
