Total spending increased by $153.80 from Month 1 to Month 2, while
income remained constant. The Shopping category saw the largest
increase, driven by a significant purchase at Best Buy replacing the
previous month’s Apple Store transaction. Dining expenses slightly
decreased, while Utilities spending rose due to the addition of a
Netflix subscription. Notable merchant shifts included increased
spending at Trader Joe’s and Target, offset by decreases at Costco and
Whole Foods. Transportation expenses in the Other category saw a minor
increase, likely due to a switch from Uber to Lyft.
