Where Does Money Go ?

15 months ago, while I had a talk with my friend, Shaimaa, and we both realised that despite our good salaries, we had no idea where our money went. I promised her that if I ever were able to track my expenses, I will share it with her.

For the past 14 months, I have been tracking what I earn and what I spend using a simple spreadsheet to keep things easier for me.
So, here is me fulfilling my promise :)





















Comments:
  • It clearly reflects my phone usage rule "Don't use phone unless it is necessary".
  • Money spent on books is low, but as I am a new fan of reading books, I will consider it as a good sign.
  • I was expecting transportation to be much higher.
  • Medicine is relatively high because of the surgery I had last month.
  • I'd never expected tech-devices to be that much high.
  • I'm not surprised to see "others" percentage.
  • Of course you can imagine my surprise when I realised that I saved more than 40% of my total income :)
