In letter form, write a periodic report on your monthly expenses to your parents or your spouse. Include a circle graph or bar chart on the percentage and the actual dollar expense of each category. Include, or comment on the lack of, the following categories:
| Housing | Utilities |
| Food | Transportation |
| Clothes | School supplies |
| Insurance | Charge accounts and/or car payments |
| Leisure | Miscellaneous |
Include other categories as they are appropriate to your expenses. Conclude with an appraisal of your expenses. Your periodic progress report should be at least 500 words long. There is no limit on length, but all essays should be concise, informative, and correct. Longer essays that multiply errors simply provide more justification for a poor grade. Microsoft Word will tell you how many words there are in a document.
