Pants down: yearly spending!

Expense Report 2022, total of 20K expenses.

Household of two in Zurich, only my own expenses.

This year 39k, biggest differences as follows:

  • +6.8k Pillar 3a - I’m too lazy to make it into asset account, and when I get my money out I’ll consider it income since it will be income from a tax standpoint AFAIU
  • +6.6k Rent - I got a really well-paying job and started paying for the entire rent, not only ‘my half’. Allows us both to sleep better.
  • +3.4k Health/Insurance - Anticipated a few bigger things, got minimal deductible and used it. Will be the same next year. Luckily it’s not a bad thing, but it’s still expensive…
  • +1.5k Holiday - With a nice job I’m able to easily pay for some luxury. Gave us a budget of 2k for the year, didn’t spend it all, and half the expenses are pre-payments for next year.
  • +1k Travel - Got a GA
  • ± 0 Groceries - Still pretty frugal :grin: Renamed to household since that’s a better name. It includes all household spending, e.g. garbage bags, light bulbs, …
  • -2.3k Various - Bought no new beds this year :slightly_smiling_face:

The rest of the increase in spending (2k) is spread over many categories.
