As I come up to having 6 more months of runway left before I run out of money, I'm starting to have anxiety regarding certain purchases, leading to some amount of avoidance. I thought I might benefit by trying to understand where most of my money goes, so that I feel less encumbered about certain kind of purchases, which don't contribute much to overall expense, but for which I may have psychological blocks to purchasing, while at the same time, being essential for my overall mental well being.
This is a small step towards that – just noting the different sections where the money goes. I'm not entirely clear where I plan to go with this. Just thought it was interesting. Probably not to someone who doesn't know me, but it does look nice.
Let me know if you have any ideas on where I can run with this!

No rent, mortgage, and/or land tax?
So, you don’t have a job? Or rent/mortgage? You should be working, not making graphs
I mean do you need someone to tell you that ordering food while unemployed is irresponsible?
Are you homeless? Where is rent?
Interesting judgemental comments so far. I live in a house my father purchased. Hence, no rent. Also, how does it matter how the money is spent? I quit due to mental health reasons. I have chronic OCD. Jesus Christ, have some compassion and focus on the data rather than giving unsolicited advice.
Gaah.. internet.
