| >Notes: *My rent is not included in this chart. *Daily expenses include daily necessities, dry-cleaning expenses and haircuts. *Recreation expenses include travel, movies, video rental, CDs, and other hobby or leisure expenses. *Other expenses include daily travel expenses and special purchases (in May, I bought a VCR). *The telephone bill includes my PHS bill. |
| As you can see from the table, my telephone bill is very expensive and this limits the money that I have to spend. I put away the money that is left over. |  |
