Ugh.
So I'm a little worried that I won't be able to financially survive until mid-September. Car insurance is due this month, and of course with my new fiscal responsible ways, I'm budgeting for this expense ... but since I haven't in the past, for this month it's a big expense.
I'll be fine for the rest of August, and will be fine to pay rent and a FEW bills, but the rub is that most of my bills fall near the beginning of the month. So I'm just a little worried. I have my dad's birthday to think of, too. Ugh.
Have any of you negotiated a due date extension on any of your utility bills before? Is that an option for me?

As for your budget, it's great you have all the expenses down for the month. The other half of the budget is a funding plan. In other words, if you get paid weekly, where does that check go?
In my life, most of my bills are due around the first. I have insurance ($1,258), mortgage ($2,780), medical bills ($500), and used to have car payments as well ($1,000). As you can see that's a lot of money going out in the first week. So I get paid weekly, if I could take $1,400 out of each paycheck, I would have enough to pay the bills.
So I think if you start working on a funding plan for your budget, you should be good to go.
God luck!!!
