appendix A - budgeting

i'm doing a little budgeting, here. i just want a running total of everything so i can get a clear understanding of what was spent on what, partly for future reference. i want to understand where the money went and where to send it again in the future.

i want to first pick up where i left off on nov 20th.

this is what became of my savings, after having left the last apartment:

3281.85 (as of sept 30th) + 1125 (returned money deposits, deposited nov 20th) + 1165.18 (lmr, deposited oct 14th) + 2000 (hsp, deposited nov 3) + 1408 (odsp, oct 31st) - 1000 (nov rent, oct 31st) - 2000 (first and last, sent oct 1st) = 

5980.03 + 1.30 (interest, oct 2nd) + 0.28 (interest, oct 29th) + 7.97 (balance, oct 27) = 

5989.58 - 200 (movers) - 100 (groceries before i moved) = 

5689.58 - 89.86 (walmart) - 227.88 (walmart) - 77.70 (walmart) - 24.84 (voip) - 573.37 (walmart) - 11.42 (amazon) - 45.19 (amazon) - 45.19 (amazon) - 22.59 (amazon) - 115.23 (amazon) - 50.73 (walmart) - 19.20(amazon) - 12.42 (amazon) - 9.71 (amazon) - 16.94 (amazon) = 

4347.31 + (3 + 26.90 + 11.30) (refund) = 

4388.51 -  297.83(walmart) - 10.16 (amazon) - 61.98 (amazon) - 106.26 (wholesale club) - 124.59 (freshco) - 156.19 (walmart) - 28.25 (oxio) - 45.77 (amazon) = 

3557.48 - 115.09 (food basics) - 255.08 (food basics) = 

3187.31

-----

3187.31 - 50 (tables, kijiji) -155 (chromebooks, kijiji) - 43.59 (wholesale club) - 208.11 (walmart) - 22.58 (amazon) - 67.79 (amazon) - 184.14 (walmart) - 145.74 (home hardware) - 59.99 (food basics)= 

2250.37 balance 

2250.37 + 0.34 (interest) + 76.11 (trillium) = 

2326.82 <---balance (1218.05 in checking, 1108.77 in savings)

===========================================================

i filled out the canada disability benefit forms at the start of november, which could send me another $1000-1200. i also have a hearing on nov 4th about the second hand smoke, in which i'm asking for a large amount of rent back.

my grocery bills should be mostly produce and lower than normal for the next 4-6 months, so i should be able to put a little aside on a monthly basis, as well. i want to maintain some savings because i want to be able to buy one of these small houses here in windsor if i get attacked by another parasitic investor.

therefore, i spent the following redesigning this space from oct 10th to nov 20th.

5689.58 - 2250.37 = 3439.21

confirmed via direct summation:

86.86  + 227.88 + 77.70 + 24.84 + 535.17 + 11.42 + 45.19 + 45.19 + 22.59 + 115.23 + 50.73 + 19.20 + 12.42 + 9.71 + 16.94 + 297.83 + 10.16 + 61.98 + 106.26 + 124.59 + 156.19 + 28.25 + 45.77  + 115.09 + 255.08  + 50 + 155 + 43.59 + 208.11 + 22.58 + 67.79 + 184.14 + 145.74 + 59.99 = 3439.21

a lot of that, however, is grocery items. i want to separate these two things from each other.

i also, as i have done before, want to add some other items that i bought in the place i lived from may 7th to oct 10th, and to take note of items i have found for free recently and previously over the years.

picking back up on nov 20th, my starting points are:

savings: 1108.77

checking: 1218.05 (1125 in bonds)

i want to continue to keep track of these things, separately. as can be seen, i bought a lot of food and cleaning supplies, so my grocery bills should be less than expected for the next several months. that money should slowly go back into the savings.
