Link to budget

I like the idea. Of course, we can expect questioning of the line items. Personally, I am not that interested.

I am interested in seeing the expenses covered and paying my part of them.

That is why I started the

Here's the budget in case some people might miss it.

Posting it on the thread might be a bit of help.

I just looked at the Budget Link and really have a problem with the travel budget!

800 bucks a month, are you joking?
