Notes: My next scheduled payment for my cell phone is scheduled through auto-pay next month so there was no payment due in December. Going forward it will be auto-paid on the 5th of each month.
The savings I had this month I will be using as income for next month. I will be using any savings I may have in any month toward income for the next month and not truly as savings. I expect my expenses to be higher in 2023 due increases in my health care costs, and utility costs. I honestly doubt I'll be realizing much savings going forward.
