In February we had a higher than normal income month and reasonable expense month.

This month, our total income was $14,460.78.  In addition to my wife’s regular paychecks, she received a surprise $3,000 award bonus and $104.99 in company reimbursements.  We also earned $23.95 in interest income from our savings accounts.

This month, our expenses totaled $10,499.64.  Large expenses included $2,029 for household items, $1,576 for groceries, and $1,042 for dining.

Next month will be huge.  My wife is one of the top performers at her company and will receive a $52,967 gross quarterly bonus, a 4.26% raise (increasing her annual salary to $213,264), and $49,082 in company stock.
