October was a great month! Not only did I somehow manage to stay under my $500 miscellaneous budget, but I stayed on budget for my trip to Greece, fit in an extra $130 to pay for my car being towed on street cleaning day (BOOOO…I don’t even drive, yet my car still costs me money…ha!), stash extra in my retirement account, and fit in a mini shopping day (for legitimate needs–especially the ice cream…mwhaha). All in all, a success!

Good job! I was trying the P90X, but now I have no motivation since it's getting cold.
Awesome on the financial. Awesome on the Household and biking is already more than enough so Awesome on the Personal.Boo to the car costing you money. That's probably the universe trying to get back at you for not buying gas lol but don't ever stray. Keep biking. It's Awesome.
