Account Balances and Income vs. Expenses, June 2005
If you continue reading this entry, you'll find my account balances for the end of June, 2005. Some notes:
* I have been on a month-to-month lease, which costs me $300 extra each month! I paid for a little more than two months of that fee this month and I haven't bothered to accrue. That took a bite out of this month's balances. I have since decided toi sign the lease, reducing my rent to $858 each month.
* I'm using a variation of MM's Excel-based net worth report now, as I continue to try to determine what kind of report works best for me.
* For some reason, edmunds.com tells me that the value of my 2004 Honda Civic LX has increased in the last month. I don't believe it, but I'm still using their figures.
* Once again, if it weren't for the money I make for working overtime, my expenses would be higher than my income. Time to cut back on movies and dinners, I suppose.
Now, on to the charts.
