The thing that i thought was the most surprising about my budget was that i still had money left over at the end of the month. i expected to be in dept by the time i was done paying for everything but i still had some money that i could spend on my self. the thing i didn't expect was how much i had to pay for everything. the thing that i realized the most was that it is really hard to actually have to pay for everything when you only make $10 an hour. the thing i can start doing now is start to save some money every month so it wont be so hard when it actually comes down to it.
