October was a good income month and larger than average expense month (see spreadsheet screenshot).

Our total income in October was $11,883.87. In addition to our paychecks, my wife received an $800 auto allowance and a $150 in company reimbursements. I received $649.54 in auto allowance and mileage reimbursement. We also received $276 in preschool reimbursement and earned $0.31 in interest income from our online savings account.

This month, we spent a total of $11,513.75. Some of our larger, non-typical expenses included $197 in auto service, $192 in clothing, and a $522 electric bill.

Next month, my wife should receive her quarterly bonus.
