Greetings Thrifty Friends,

Spending guideline percentages may be useful as you examine
your spending habits. These spending guidelines are for
comparison purposes only. For example, most financial experts
suggest that housing consume no more than 35 percent of your
income after taxes. However, if you spend 40 percent you will
not necessarily be in trouble as long as you reduce you
percentage of expenses somewhere else.

These figures are from the Department of Labor Consumer
Expenditure Survey. These show only the average expenditures
of surveyed households, NOT the amounts families should spend.
You can see housing, food and transportation take about two-
thirds of the family budget and about one-third goes for all
other expenses. That's where the challenges of money manage-
ment come in.

Keep pinchin' those pennies,
Penny
