April was another good income month, but an even larger expense month (see spreadsheet screenshot).

Our total income in April was $8,696.33 (only my wife is working). In addition to my wife’s paychecks, she received an $800 auto allowance and a $150 company reimbursement for internet service. We also received $250 in preschool reimbursement, $75 selling items on Craigslist, and earned $4.57 in interest income from our online savings account.

In April, we spent a total of $8,928.07 (more than we made, again). Thank God that I begin my new job next month because the ship is starting to list.  This is the third month in a row that we’ve had to pull money from savings to cover our expenses. I left my company at the end of September, over 7 months ago, and am eager to get back to work.

Next month, with the addition on my income, we hope to begin rebuilding our savings.
