outgo

What you spend

Outgo is money that goes out—expenditures, expenses, or disbursements.

It contrasts with income or inflow and appears most often in financial contexts: The company's outgo exceeded its income for the third quarter.

As a verb, outgo means to surpass or exceed, though this use is rare and old-fashioned: His ambition outgoes his talent.
