@felix.padilla.eng: BEYOND YOUR HOME WHERE MONEY GOES EACH MONTH U.S.consumer-unit mean annual outlays from the 2024 Consumer Expenditure Survey, divided by 12 and re-expressed inSeptember 2026 purchasing power using CPI-U 336.940 divided by 2024 annual-average CPI-U 313.688833. This updates dollar units, NOT 2024 spending behavior into observed 2026 spending. Housing is excluded; the transport group includes vehicle purchases. INSURANCE+PENSIONS includes retirement and Social Security contributions, so the list is broader than consumption bills. Cash given away is the BLS cash-contributions group, including donations and support. Means include households with zero spending in each category; not medians or a recommended budget. Rounded to dollars. Compare with your own categories and commitments in Deco. Find which costs leave no room to save. Search “Deco budget” in the App Store.
