# §100.153. Routine living expenses.


Payments by a candidate from his or her personal funds, as defined at [11 CFR 100.33](/cfr/11/100.33.md), for the candidate's routine living expenses that would have been incurred without candidacy, including the cost of food and residence, are not expenditures. Payments for such expenses by a member of the candidate's family as defined in [11 CFR 113.1(g)(7)](/cfr/11/113.1.md?p=g-7), are not expenditures if the payments are made from an account jointly held with the candidate, or if the expenses were paid by the family member before the candidate became a candidate.
