Here is my basic simple budget for January - April 2010.
As you can see, I spend very little on going out to eat, on clothing and entertainment. Having very little time to go shopping due to a heavy workload is helpful in this regard.
I wonder if anyone thinks this budget is too restrictive to be sustainable over the long term (i.e. after graduation)?
