Those with Budgets
What are your categories? We're trying to sit down and truly set one up this time but I am having issues figuring out the categories other then the obvious like mortgage, food, utilities, etc. I really want to get things set up to set us up for success this time.

We just made categories for all our bills, and estimates (overestimates to be safe) things like gas (car), electric, groceries etc. We each get a set amount of personal fun money, and we have a set amount for us to do things like go out to eat etc. We just started with that bc the little things were really adding up.
I don't really make a budget for groceries, per say, but I try to keep things reasonable and looks for the best prices. I would rather compromise on other things, not what I eat.

thank you!
I hate budgets that have a ton of lines in them. Ours looks like this, sorted by due date - I pay all bills twice a month on the 1st and 15th. Yes, there are 2 payments per month going to the Farm Bureau, I don't know why they did it that way and it annoys me.
I allow $2500 for the "everything else" category every month. If we go over that's OK, I just try to keep it under $2500. "Everything else" items are charged to our Visa that is paid off monthly.
