<prompt> Human: Here is the report I made for myselfI used You Need a Budget 4 to manually enter every single transaction and also managing my budget. I blew my budget quite often but just having numbers and goals written down helped me to control my finances quite a bit. I also used Mint to compare with my YNAB and to categorize all of the transactions.It was a big pain in the ass to do this but i really look forward to the days where i will take an hour or so to reconcile my transactions and make near term plans in my budget. Hopefully this helps you to track your spending and really know whats going on.Edit: A lot of salt here from people that are upset I dont pay for housing or food but many dont realize Ive worked hard in my career to get here and that there are thousands of opportunities out there that do the same, you just need to look for them. Room and board are part of my compensation, they arent free! If i were making 15k more a year and mailed out a mortgage check every month would that make all of you happier?When I lived in California, I was making 72K for the same job so this is a substantial paycut. The difference, obviously, is that my COL is so low out here. I do, however, trade that low COL for things that you probably take for granted. I live on a small isolated and very remote island, I cant just leave whenever I want to and I cant just take off for the weekend or the night. I literally live thousands of miles from all my friends and family. The availability of goods is very limited and we face shortages often. The internet is very slow and relatively expensive and goods take weeks to make it out here if you order online. My entertainment options are extremely limited compared to a lot of places. I dont pay at the cafeteria but the food quality isnt that great and I dont choose what they make, I eat whatever they decide to make that day. I have to put up with a ton on inane rules that I have absolutely no say in. Sometimes, staring at the same three square miles and seeing the same faces every single day gets a little old. Infrastructure is crumbling, flights are super expensive in and out, my room is only about 400 sq ft of space, etc. etc.There are many other good points of living here, which is why Ive stayed as long as I have but you can see that there are definite drawbacks to living a lower COL life.Edit 2: This isnt supposed to be me advocating people live a lifestyle or have a budget like i do, its me advocating tracking your expenses and analyzing them thoroughly so that you can control where your money goes. AKA read the title  <response>: Your Food 1399 spending seemed low, until I learned that you also have Travel:Food spending of 2566.
