My Frugal Miser - January Expenses: $3,259

My expenses for January were reasonable. I spent very little on food but a lot more on gas. I imagine this is my new reality now that I'm working in a restaurant.

• I guess one advantage of working in a restaurant is that I don't spend much money on food. My food budget was dramatically reduced in January.
• None of my other expenses were out of the ordinary in January.
