In April, we had a good income month but also a very large expense month.  My wife’s 3% raise from her promotion went into effect but we tweaked her tax withholdings, which absorbed most of the salary increase.

This month, our total net income was $11,805.29.  In addition to my wife’s regular paychecks, she received $99.99 in company reimbursements.  We also earned $51.74 in interest income from our savings accounts.

This month, our expenses totaled $18,815.99.  Large expenses included $1,843 for clothing, $1,270.92 for ski reasort season passes for next year, and $2,068 for vacations.

Next month, my wife and I will be traveling overseas for a couple weeks so our expenses will be higher than normal.
