    It would be harder if you have to coordinate two people. My BF and I do not live together and try to be pretty understanding about each others finances. What is the sewer bill?

    Yeah, it is harder with two people. The sewer bill is for our toilets and disposal and the like. It's for two months.

    It's really hard sometimes to avoid spending money. Have a few no spend days may break some of the spending habits…Your list looks a bit like mine…many stops for just a little thing (like a soda or coffee) add up.All in all, I think you did pretty good in the spending categories!
