[quote=Anonymous]We also never budgeted until later in life. We don't have a miscellaneous category. How good are your spending records to figure out your spending habits over the past year or two? To figure out how much to allocate, that's where I started. Expect to spend a few months tweaking your allocations. For us, printer ink goes with the home office budget (electronics including accruing to replace a computer, postage stamps, pens). Birthday presents go in the presents for family and friends budget. Stamps - see above. Under-cabinet light goes with the home and garden budget (paper towels, batteries, mulch, if we need to call the plumber). [/quote]
