We prepare a formal income and expense budget about 3 months before the beginning of each year. We try to live
within our budgeted expenses, but life sometimes happens no matter how much you plan. Regardless of our budget, if something
special comes up we may decide to do it anyway. After all, we may not have the same opportunity again.
These are our Average Monthly Expenses for the last 10 years. We were not living in our RV while our youngest
son was in High School, but the monthly expenses are still accurate. I am not suggesting that these should be your expenses,
they are just posted here to give you a rough idea of what to expect or to to compare to. Not included here are our
Medical Expenses, Gifts, Personal Care, Miscellaneous and Taxes.
