{savings tracker}

spent = $195; saved = $79 (29%)

cumulative annual savings = $2,049 (41%)

weekly average spent on family of 3.5 = $142

i've decided that my goal is to have it down to at least $125 by the end of the year.

i have absolutely no plan for doing this, but thought it'd be fun to set a goal anyway.
