October 2013 Income Statement

October was an even better income month than last month, which was phenomenal, but it was also a large expense month(see attached spreadsheet).

Our total income in August was $13,672.80.  In addition to our regular paychecks, my wife received an unexpected bonus check ($3,000 gross, $1,683.60 net).  She also received a $600 auto allowance, and a $100 company reimbursement for internet service.  I received a third “extra” check this month.  We earned $2.49 in interest income from our online savings account.

In October, we spent a total of $11,199.67 continuing our trend of blowing our budgetJ.  Some of the larger, non-typical expenses include $550 brake job for car 2 and ~$3K in household items.

November should be a pretty standard income and expense month.

April saw a boost in our income, thanks to my wife beginning her new job mid-month.  Sadly, our expenses were extraordinarily high (see attached spreadsheet).

Our total income in April was $7,170.03.  In addition to my regular paychecks this month, my wife received $900 unemployment and 2,367.22 from her new job.  We received $50.00 in credit card cash back rewards, a $200 rebate, and we earned $5.61 in interest income from our online savings account.

In April, we spent a total of $10,281.36, requiring us to dip into our savings.  In addition to our normal expenses, we paid $1,058.06 in supplemental tax and $2,200 for a new fence.

My wife left her new job after 2 weeks and went back to work for her old company.  May will be her first full month of employment since December, so it will help us get back on track.  We also both receive a third “extra” check in May.

March was a pretty low income month because my wife was still searching for a job.  We were, however, able to lower our standard expenses a bit (see attached spreadsheet), but were hit hard with income taxes.

Our total income in March was $5,478.50.  In addition to my regular paychecks this month, my wife received $1,800 unemployment.  We also received $25.00 in credit card cash back rewards and we earned $6.30 in interest income from our online savings account.

In March, we spent a total of $7,837.81.  This included a couple of large tax hits: $1,121 state income taxes, $226 federal income taxes, and $300 to our tax accountant.

In April, my wife begins her new job, so we should have an influx of cash, which is good because we have a $1,058.06 in supplemental tax bill coming up.
