I have alloted zero cash for clothing, shoes and bags this entire year. So you can say this expense category doesn't exist for me.
Our family has the usual expenses like food, rent, utilities and our maid. I don't have postpaid cellphone bill because I have them all cut off. Although I spend on prepaid card which lasts me months.

Yes, mindset is one of the important things in budgeting. I'm happy that you are able to practice thinking several times before buying an item.

I am on the same page. It's one quality we all should have as an efficient home maker.

I buy only what is needed. So I definitely think and check what is needed. I am buying one shoes this month from Mylot payout and money that I got from other site. My current running shoes has been overused. It stayed for a decade and now really needs replacement.

I don't have a travel budget.
That is because I don't anywhere.
I disposed off my scooter two years back and if I venture out, the furthest I go is the corner shop for fruits.

@yoalldudes Phew! 
And people want to travel to the moon!! The very thought is exhausting. Do you know what happened to the person who traveled to the sun? 
His wings fell off...the store hasn't sent replacement yet.

@yoalldudes We are also two-income household but if I pay for a maid I won't have money left by the end of the month.

Perhaps it is too expensive in your place. We are two income household me and my partner. I guess that's partly why we can budget for a help's pay.

I have so many new clothes particularly shirts that I received last Christmas and also on Christmas of 2018. It is piling up so obviously I don't need to buy.

@yoalldudes last Christmas season I posted in Facebook my request not to give me clothes for a gift. Guess what, the first gift I received was a set of 3 imported shirts.

I want to enjoy food now because when I'm older, I may not be able to because the doctor may not allow due to health reasons when aging.

When I consider the spending portion of my budget I do not break it down according to any specific spending. I have one single amount which I allot for month that goes to everything...food, clothes, leisure, eating out, household needs...whatever. I have found it easier that way.

@yoalldudes Perhaps. I like to keep things simple. I think it is easier to follow that way, and to follow through.

I'm glad you found something that works for you and makes life easy. Perhaps it is a common goal.
