personal budget category ideas for you!

i get a lot of emails asking my opinion on what categories folks should use when starting their budget.
of course it is a very personal thing and based on your lifestyle and preferences but there are a few categories that most of us use. these would be food, clothing, fun, blow, transportation...

here is a looooong list of ideas to help you if you are struggling with categories.
these are based on 5 years of categories that have been submitted to me!
i will continue to add to this list and new categories come in!
