July was a good income month and a very low expense (see spreadsheet screenshot).

Our total income in July was $15,757.70.  In addition to our regular paychecks, I received a monthly bonus of $3333.33 gross ($1,853.35 net) and my wife received a discretionary bonus of $500 gross ($331.12 net).  My wife received $1,763.04 in auto allowance / mileage reimbursements and $44.99 in internet reimbursements.  We earned $0.01 in interest income from our savings accounts.

This month, our expenses totaled $12,494.20.  A much more reasonable amount compared to the last couple of months!  Big ticket items include $252.45 in entertainment, $400 in house maintenance and $305 in eye doctor visits/contacts.

Next month, we hope to keep our expenses down, especially since it will be a lower income month.
