Since I am pen-ultimately bored out of my mind: for your viewing pleasure, a breakdown of the money that I have spent thus far. It is only an approximation (because real life is never as simple as the spreadsheet makes it out to be), but some ballpark figures none-the-less. Sorry that I couldn’t put it into a table for easier viewing, but I tried, it didn’t work, and I have no desire to screw with it until it does. There are no taxes in there, so this is simply percentages of money flowing out of checking/credit. If anyone so desires, I could whip that figure up as well, but it would take more time than I am currently willing to spend. So, enjoy!

I want to see a pie chart. It would just be so much easier to visualize.
Unfortunately I actually created one, but it didn’t really tell me anything any better than the raw data. Probably because, at its core, OpenOffice sucks. Anyhoo, I just got it to work, so here you go.
the percentage spent on gas is wonderfully appropo.
