In this post, I’ll be discussing how much we budget on personal care each month. This group is pretty straightforward when looking at what it covers.
Get to the point already!
We budget $75 for personal care each month. This amount has been very consistent for a long time. It had been a bit less in the past, but we increased it a while ago to make sure there was enough for those in our family who don’t get their hair done as often.
How do you stick to it?
This is pretty easy. I get my hair cut once a month, so much it rolls over from month to month so that when my wife or daughters needs something, there is plenty there. The key is to not steal from it when other budget categories might be overspent in a month.
What all does it cover?
This category honestly doesn’t cover very much.
- Haircuts for anyone in the family (including the dog)
- For me this is roughly $19/month
- Hair styling or coloring
- Optionally makeup and cosmetics
