November was a great income month and high expense month (see spreadsheet screenshot).

Our total income in November was $18,592.90. In addition to our paychecks, my wife received a $11,500 gross ($6909.37 net) quarterly bonus. This was a huge blessing! She also received an $800 auto allowance and a $150 in company reimbursements. I received $547.35 in auto allowance and mileage reimbursement. We also received $307 in preschool reimbursement, and earned $1.35 in interest income from our online savings account.

This month, we spent a total of $12,368.07. Some of our larger, non-typical expenses included $2,219 in vacation and $699 in auto service.

Next month, I will be receiving a monthly bonus.
