3. **Variable Expenses**: Costs that can fluctuate each month, including groceries, entertainment, dining out, and personal care.

4. **Savings**: Allocations for savings accounts, retirement funds, or emergency funds.

5. **Debt Repayment**: Payments towards any outstanding debts, including credit cards, student loans, and other loans.

6. **Discretionary Spending**: Non-essential expenses that can vary widely, such as vacations, hobbies, or luxury items.
