You spent to much on dates 😉

Long term relationships are expensive 😂

Yeah that is quiet a large percent (more than booze!)

If I did this in college is would be 50% alcohol and 50% Walmart…

I had money for none of this except the occasional pizza.
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4msgez wrote
I worked during the semester, and over the summer, so I had some money, definitely still had to watch the spending though

Imagine doubling that time by another four years by going to grad school. ;-)

Perfect example of when not to use pie charts. To many categories, hard to compare quickly. As they taught in my data visualization class, don't make people remember.
Not ugly, but not beautiful (only speaking about the viz, not the data).

If I included rent and bills as one colour my piechart would nearly become monochrome

It would be nice to have. The total dollars spent in the middle of the graph

I spent a lot of money on booze, birds, and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Outside of gas and maybe school it’s all entertainment. Beneficial budget/spending tracking typically broken down something like: housing, transportation, savings, life (food, clothing, entertainment, etc).

What is the actual dollar amount you spent,?

Which category goes with which pie slice? Too hard to see gray linkage on black background.

Hold on, no food like regular meals? Or it’s included in room and board?
Latensify_WoW t1_j4ou6u9 wrote
Also, aren't uncategorized and miscellaneous redundant?

What is vacation? Lol my idea of a vacation was driving home to during the holidays.

Those alcohol numbers are rookie numbers, I’m going to need you to bump those up.

How did you prepare this chart please?

Plot twist: OP only spend 100$!

Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4qjb9w wrote
Not really, just worked all summer and throughout the semester, and wanted to check all my charges, so I made this
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4qjf8v wrote
Yeah the meal plan is part of room and board, I suffered through the dining halls to ensure that fast food stayed low 😂
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4qjhn6 wrote
I opted to keep that off for privacy, but it’s probably about what you’d expect from a college kid
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4qjorw wrote
They were charges on Amazon that I no longer have access to that Amazon account, so I can’t check, might be gifts for people or miscellaneous, not sure

That's fair. As a student about to enter college, I'm still heavily debating living at home vs. on campus and wondering how much I'll have left over myself, lol

Sorting the categories in descending order by dollars spent would go a long way toward straightening up this chart and making your spending habits easier/faster to understand.
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4rjt0p wrote
To be fair, my vacation was fairly expensive for myself +1 and I bought a gaming computer under the gaming section, so hopefully helps you estimate

How do you go about collecting nerds?
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4s8204 wrote
Lol that is collecting retro video games and trading cards, just lumped together

Props on a tiny booze sliver.

That gives some good context for sure, thank you!

What if they separated and straightened the chunks out and then arrayed them on some sort of two dimensional plane? I feel like that would have made this more informative.
Gifted_Gengar OP t1_j4mp9c7 wrote
This is data I collected from my credit card statements, and created the chart on Google sheets Edit: To clarify “nerd collecting” is retro video games and trading cards
