Is this budget too tight?

Question

I’ve been tracking my expenses & bills and this is what I came up with:

I want (and need) to purchase a new car (the $220) as my car is on the fritz.. and after all my bills, spending, and saving money I will be left with $75. Is this budget too tight? 
**the 4 at the bottom I could cancel if necessary but I’m just going by the bills I have right now**

Answer

Do you have a family or is it just you? I’d say nix the eating out if you can. Put the $20 to the $75 leftover and the extra $100 put towards groceries. Your bills are relatively small, so I think this is a very reasonable budget. My husband and I budget around $100-$150 for groceries a month and it lasts! Buy bulk meat and separate them into baggies and freeze them. You can get cheap sides and veggies for like $1 at Walmart. Good luck!

Answer

I’d cut back a wee bit on the eating out budget to give you more money to play with but other than that it’s s great budget

Answer

Id probably get rid of eating out XD

Answer

You're putting $50 in savings and have $75 left over. On top of the $50 you have for "spending money", that's $175 of wiggle room 🤷🏻‍♀️
Considering that's almost 20% of your income, I'd say the budget is fine.

Answer

I personally would get rid of Ipsy and eating out as much!

Answer

If that works for you but if you could probably save that 120 or at least half of it from eating out of your getting $200 of groceries

Answer

I think it's doable

Answer

It really depends on how much you have in savings and how much of that are you using for your car?

Answer

did you include rent/mortgage & utilities or do you not pay those?

Answer

I think 200$ in groceries monthly might be too little?
