Project: May 16th


  1. Today i looked through my BECU account, i looked at my recent transaction to see how much i spend in a month (the average of three months). I did this to try and figure out just how much i spend and if there is anyway i could cut back and save more money, I was also interested in how much i make in and average week (which turned out to be fairly consistent). 
  2. I found out that in the month of April i had spent $177.43 , in March i had spent a bit more $205.69, in February i had spent $193.09. To me these numbers seem very big, i could definitely spend less money. I march i had bought a new multivitamin so that is why there is a big difference in the amount spent in those few months. I also found out how much i make in an average month (which i wont put on here), but i really need to budget a lot a little bit more, because i could save myself a lot of money. I also found that i get gas exactly two times a month and i spend an average of $33.58 whenever i get gas. I was surprised to see this because that really isn't that bad, riding the bus to school really has saved me a lot of money. I also saw that i went to buy a drink at the store quite often (the $3.25 comes up quite often), if i cut that out i could save a lot of money.
  3. I spent 50 minutes doing this, it really didn't take me that long to do all this. I was also really surprised at how far back BECU can go back to look at transactions on your phone.
