This Reference Helped Me Put My Spending Into Perspective

I love this! http://www.cnpp.usda.gov/USDAFoodCost-Home.htm has up-to-date monthly averages for four different budget levels. Just click on the year you are interested in seeing and a PDF doc will open.

I feel normal! Of course my normal may fit in "thrifty," "low-cost," "moderate-cost" or "liberal." It helped me put my budget into perspective.
