Where does it go?

The money, I mean. Where does it go? Remember when the b-word used to me a female dog . . but you used it in context of the wicked chick in organic chemistry that had all the answers??

The b-word . . . Budget. Buh-huh-huh-duh-jet.

I read an article this week that sums up a survey of 600,000 families . . . average spendings are:
$1,126 for rent/mortgage
$563 for travel and/or public transportation
$160 for gifts/donations
$590 for dining out
$346 for financial advisors
$123 for entertainment
$158 for gas and fuel
$859 for bills and utilities
$622 for shopping

I'm not sure how we stack up to taht . i'm gonnna figure it out in all my spare time (yes, that was a joke) this week. I'm curious . . .

Are you? Are you trimming the fat or procrastinating? If you are trimming . . tell me what's on the chopping block . . .
