We were doing well in August until the end of the month, then the wheels came off the cart.  In August, we saw our net worth decrease a $1,390.52, to a total of $227,037.01 (click on spreadsheet below).

What Worked
My wife began a new job this month making $97K annual salary plus an opportunity to earn $35K+ in bonus each year.  The company gives her $600/month auto allowance, a gas card, $100/month for home office, and 20K shares of stock each year.  This is a huge blessing to our family. 

What Didn’t Work
Sadly, all of our numbers fell this month.

Next Month
September will be my wife’s first full month with her new company.  Her large income should really help us towards our goals.
