Expenses can be either Fixed or Variable. Fixed means that they do not change from month to month. For example rent or insurance. Another way to consider fixed expenses is that you know what the expense is each month for a set number of months.

Fixed expense are pre-determined by somebody other than yourself, eg: a bank or a company. The only control you have is to shop around (eg: for car insurance) and potentially try negotiate the cost.

Variable expenses can change on a month to month basis. For example: groceries or eating out. These are harder to predict than fixed expenses.

You have more control over variable expenses and hence are able to reduce them easier and more quickly than fixed expenses.
