I have never set a clothing budget as a line item in our budget. I am working on our budget for the the next 3 months and would like to include clothing as a line item but don't know where to start.
When you budget for clothing do you base the figure on a precentage of your income or do you just set an amount? If you don't spend it all one month do you roll it into the next month or put it in savings? If you go over do take it off the next month?
The way I've always done it is if I had the extra I bought the item if not I didn't. I know I've spent a ton this year and would like a little more control over that.
No shopping at all for months is not an option because I did that for years when my girls were growing up.
I know these sound like dumb questions but to enter it as a line item I'm at a loss.
