Post your budget, tips, tricks, or questions.

You don't have to post your income..

My budget looks like this

RENT - $1200
FOOD - $400
CREDIT - $240
PETS - $200
UTILITES - $60
CABLE/WIFI - $150
GAS - $100
SAVINGS - $400-500
INVESTMENTS - $250

Trying to cut down my CC debt and food..**** makes a difference.

Everyone should have Mint. That's step one imo. Logging into one app and seeing all the money you make and spend in one place does wonders.

400$ on food is crazy for one person. Guessing thats mostly comprised of eating out?

It's two people. My girl and I. I'm trying to cut this down. One meal eating out is like $25/40.

The mobile app is clutch.

how do you feel about the security of mint.com? was put on to mint maybe 5 years ago, and the thought of puttin all my financial stuff in one site seemed...not the smartest thing to do.

That's not a budget.  That's just an expense.

Mint is fine...have no qualms whatsoever and seeing all your accounts/spending/savings all in one place with charts etc. really has helped me with my finances.
