I have been on Mint.com for about 2 years and 9 months. In that time, I have built up a pretty good history of where my money goes. It makes me wonder how much money (and stuff) I might have in my bank accounts had I not been a student at a private school. This is where my money has gone for the last 1003 days of my life.
It is a little shocking to see how big of a slice of the pie the $51,000 I have paid for education (tuition, books, student loans) is compared to everything else. Buying a car (fully paid off) is another big cost. The big cost of rent did not surprise me, but the $9,000 on food did a bit. The uncategorized are “Cash and ATM” and I did not input them in Mint.
