April was a good income month and lower than normal expense month (see spreadsheet screenshot).

Our total income in April was $11,645.91.  In addition to our paychecks, I received a monthly bonus of $3,601.48 gross ($1,986.66 net) and $593.30 in auto allowance and mileage reimbursement.  My wife received $50 in company reimbursements.  We earned $6.27 in interest income from our savings account.

This month, we spent a total of $9,666.81.  In general, our expenses were much more in line with our budget.  Hopefully this will become a trend for us.

Next month my wife will likely be blessed with a quarterly bonus.
