Anny’s friend Alexei listed some other possible expenses.

 

If you look at Alexei’s list you will notice that some of these predictable expenses will be the same from one month to the next. These expenses are called recurring expenses. Some expenses will change in amount from month to month and are called variable expenses.

 

Because some expenses only occur occasionally, they cannot be predicted. These are unexpected expenses.
