2019 Budget

After reviewing my spending and expected income for 2019, I've made some adjustments to my 2018 budget going forward. I seem to have a little bit more wiggle room in my budget for this year.

	2019 Budget
Category	Budgeted Amount	Per Month
Rent	$12,220.00	$1,018.33
Groceries	$5,700.00	$475.00
Internet	$1,100.00	$91.67
Electricity	$0.00	$0.00
Eating Out	$1,968.00	$164.00
Charity	$600.00	$50.00
Cell phone	$350.00	$29.17
Medical	$1,400.00	$116.67
Misc	$9,600.00	$800.00
Savings	$6,600.00	$550.00
Total	$39,538.00	$3,294.83

I expect to make $35,901 NZD from my salaries next year. I expect to rake in $3,640 from renting out my parking space, for a total of $39,541.While the majority of my income is accounted for here, I do not expect that I will spend all of it every month. The monthly overages will be put toward my various short- and medium-term funds:

• 2020 US trip ($3K)
• DSLR camera ($1K)
• PhD Slush Fund (always being funded/used towards therapy; massages; exercise; anything that helps me maintain my mental and physical well being. Approx $1500 limit at any one time) 

Here's to a great year!!
