In August, we had a great income month but also a very high expense month.

Our total income in August was $15,962.77.  In addition to my wife’s regular paychecks, she received an unexpected bonus from old company of $706 gross ($443.72 net) and she exercised stock options worth $4,467.38 (net).  We also earned $162.55 in interest income from our savings accounts. 

This month, our expenses totaled $18,729.97.  Large expenses included $3,150 for puppy, $1,266 for gym memberships, and $990.05 for giving.

Next month my wife should receive a quarterly bonus of $14,917.50 gross.
