I do not have a budget set for my self i just kind of know what i need and try to divide my check up into the things i need for sure and the things that i can do without. This way if i have extra money after Ive bought the things i need i can get the things i want that are not a complete necessity.
I have definitely spent more than i expected this semester, mostly on books and supplies for school but also on things i didn't really need such as vending machines or eating out in between classes.
Being a commuter, most of my money has been spent on gas getting myself to school and home.
I feel like i don't really need to change my spending habits because i get by without any problems but i could save the money that i spend on eating out for a time when i may need it or so that when i buy all my books for next semester it won't be a big chuck of money all out at once because it will be money i have saved up.
