As of now, my cable services are included in rent; that deal will expire at the same time. I expect Comcast -- who has purchased my current cable provider -- will want me to pay full price. Those were the only increases. I didn't have a 2007 budget -- this is all new. Mars: My apartment lease is up for renewal at the end of June, and I expect that my rent will go up.

Are you anticipating them or did you copy it from 2007 budget? How come some expenses go up drastically after June 2008? Are you anticipating them or did you copy it from 2007 budget?

One note: your bottom row "surplus after expenses" The amount ($101k) doesn't make sense, I'm not sure where it's coming from. Also, the percentage (54%) is actually what you will spend, not your leftover surplus. Great blog by the way, I read it every day! The budget looks great!
