While our net worth dropped $3,310.51 in September, we nevertheless did a good job of keeping our expenses down (click on spreadsheet).
Our total expenses were $6,894.11, surprisingly low considering we purchased a new table and chairs ($329), paid off the balance of Car 1 so we could sell it ($600), and had to have some plumbing work done ($75).
In addition to our regular paychecks, we were able to pull in other income of $265.01 this month from two credit card rewards, a small refund check, and my wife’s reimbursement. Our interest income for September was $29.06.
Next month should be a low expense month since I will be on business travel for two weeks.

Christine – Thankfully, yes, Husband does get fun money.
Doctor S – Our expenses have been all over the place since I began tracking them. Our best months are when I constantly check the account balances so that we know where we are at and if we need to make an effort to cut back on spending.
