In November, we were blessed with a strong income month and a reasonable expense month (see spreadsheet screenshot).

Our total income in November was $14,794.99.  In addition to our regular paychecks, I received a third “extra” paycheck and a monthly bonus of $1,950 gross ($1,084.39 net).  My wife also received $651.21 in auto allowance / mileage reimbursements and $46.99 in internet reimbursements.  We earned $7.96 in interest income from our savings accounts.

This month, our expenses totaled $12,822.75.  It was nice that our expenses were at a reasonable level again.  Big ticket items include $608 in clothing, $340 in eyebrow microblading, and $103 in gifts.

Next month, our expenses will probably be higher due to Christmas and travel but my wife should receive a $1,000 bonus and we plan to sell some of her company stock for ~$7,000.
