How did you do last year? Stuck to the budget? Any surprises?
I will have to dive into it in detail now that 2015 is over, but at the first glance using Mint, it looks like I was within budget. I moved to Canada and that was the biggest item.
One thing I wasn't counting on is that the USD got stronger, and the spending in Canada once I moved has been below the planned spending by 25%+. And it helps since my portfolio didn't quite perform...
