So a little over a month into using YNAB and I decided to start playing with some reports...so far this year I have spent almost $400 on food (55% of my spending money). That is completely out of control. The worst part of this is that my job supplies many of my meals, I have absolutely no excuse for this and plan on really focusing on cutting this number down significantly.
Not all of this is restaurants...actually restaurants are 'only' about 1/3 of it. Clearly I need to cut back on my grocery shopping because I really don't even cook that much (I'd love to but between the time needed and using a shared kitchen...I just don't bother.)
I'm also a big fan of treating myself so I think I'm going to wait until after my vacation to really crack down on this. So starting the 22nd I'm putting a severe watch on my food budget.
