Upon first discovering MMM, I posted my initial progress in this post (
http://forum.mrmoneymustache.com/ask-a-mustachian/new-mustachian-feeling-frustrated-after-seeing-recent-spending-in-mint/).
Since then, I've made progress, but would love to hear experienced Mustachians' thoughts and feedback on what I could or should be doing better.
Looking back at June, my total expenses were $2,942. $1,442 of this is shown in the attached spending by category. $1,500 isn't shown there, but is an amount owed as part of a business buyout ($1,500 monthly at zero interest for approx. 20 more months).
Obviously I have room to improve in food and dining. This is probably my weakest spot, from what I can tell. I'm aiming to reduce this in July, and continually reduce it.
I'm still starting out and frankly a little overwhelmed by all the factors I need to consider, so I would love to hear from experienced Mustachians on where I should think about focusing my efforts for maximum impact.
Thank you!
