October’s expenses were reasonable. If not for the money sent to my in-laws, our total expenses would have been under $2000.
Entertainment expense was $0. Amazon Prime was free after applying a free gift card to my account. I also have 1 year of Apple TV free from one of my credit cards.
My transportation expense consisted of $191.35 for gas. This included a trip to St. Louis. We won’t be going to St. Louis this month so this expense should come down a bit.
Food expense was $384.01. That is divided between $289.15 for groceries and $94.86 for restaurants. The restaurant total includes $45 spent on a Mcdonald’s gift card that has about half the balance remaining. I also have $50 of gift cards for Walmart. Those should help me get our food expense even lower this month.
Travel expense came in at $0.
Utilities came in at $358. Internet was $40, trash was $30 and electric/water was $310.61. This expense will be much lower this month since we’re no longer using the A/C.
Household expense came in at $133.02. This was for miscellaneous household stuff.
I spent $20 for phone service. That is the new usual monthly amount.
I paid $215.12 on my student loan. I’ve switched to the RAP plan which slightly lowered my payment.
I also contributed $251.99 to my in-laws so they can make some improvements to their house in Thailand.
Health expense came in at $41.98. This was for a combination of prescription and over the counter medications.
This month’s expenses will be a little higher since I have to pay property tax on the house. How was your month?
September’s expenses were once again quite high. If it were not for a couple of one-time expenses, they would have been under $2000. I’m hoping this month will not have any unusual expenses, and I can finally get our expenses back under $2000.
Entertainment expense was $0. Amazon Prime was free after applying a free gift card to my account. I also have 1 year of Apple TV free from one of my credit cards.
My transportation expense consisted of $173.36 for gas. I used some discounted gas cards or otherwise this total would have been even higher.
Food expense was $339.11. That is divided between $298.03 for groceries and $41.08 for restaurants. That is much better than the previous month. I’m hoping this month we can keep the total under $400.
Travel expense came in at $0.
Utilities came in at $358. Internet was $40 and electric/water was $318. This expense will be much lower this month since we’ve used the A/C much less the last few weeks.
Household expense came in at $751.71. Some of the big expenses were a new freezer, a plumbing repair, and partial payment of my dad’s cremation. The rest was for miscellaneous household stuff.
I spent $20 for phone service. That is the usual monthly amount plus $5 for extra data.
I paid $0 on my student loan. I’ve switched to the RAP plan which apparently starts this month which meant no payment due in August.
I also contributed $750 to my in-laws so they can make some improvements to their house in Thailand.
This month’s expenses should be quite a bit lower. How was your month?
I made $172.16 from eBay. Since I was working, I spent much less time on eBay.
I made $21.02 from cash back.
I made $593 from social casinos. One of the social casinos I get daily money from closed in August which will cause this income to decrease unless I can find a good replacement.
I made $0 from surveys.
I made $100 from sportsbooks. I keep thinking the promos are all gone, but then more come along.
I made $3464.59 from my document review job.
I made $300 from a credit card bonus.
I made a total of $600 from three different bank bonuses.
This month’s income should still be good but not as good as August.
