[quote=Anonymous]How do you go about budgeting for irregular or miscellaneous expenses? We just started our second child in daycare and need to go on a budget but I'm new to this process. Specifically, I'm thinking about items like new printer ink cartridges, a birthday present for the kid down the street who's having a party, stamps, a replacement for the under-cabinet light that blew out in the kitchen, Easter baskets, etc. etc.? In looking at our monthly expenses, it seems like these are the things that add up really quickly but, at the same time, aren't always easy to categorize or predict. Do you just have a separate category for "miscellaneous"? If so, how much do you decide how much to allocate? [/quote]
