December Monthly Financial Report

I am going to make this short and sweet.


Here is my budget results for December:


I brought in an extra $2700 in income this past month. $2500 was bonus money.
I used the extra $2700 and paid off 4 credit cards. I did pretty good in all categories except Misc. I blew that one out the water. I treated myself to cute Ecko bag from Ross and a new hair-do for the new year. I also got my daughter a couple of things from Ross.


Here is my current net worth standing:



Self explanatory.

I am in the midst of revamping my budget as I said I would in my last monthly report post. Once I get that ironed out I will post January budget. I am also going to revise my PF Goals file to incorporate the finance goals I listed on my 2008 Goals post. I will post that up also.

My $100 grocery budget and tips for saving on your grocery bill

I did a post back in October on how I kept my grocery budget under $120. In that post, I had pictures of the grocery shopping I had done earlier in the day for a total of $29.76. I also listed a number of ways I keep my grocery budget so low. Today I did some grocery shopping for meat and some other misc items. Here is what I bought: - 2 packages of chicken breasts - 2 packages of drumsticks - 2 whole hens - 2 packages of chicken wings - 1 bag of roma tomatoes - 1 bag of onions - 1 bag of organic baby carrots - 2 gallons of water (not shown) - 1 bottle of bbq sauce Total = $24.90 One big way to save on groceries each month is to package the food you buy into servings sizes. Your serving size depends on how many people are in your family. I separate out my sizes based on how much food my daughter and I consume in one meal. Take for instance drumsticks: My daughter will eat one drumstick while I will eat two. So I package those in threes. I know some folks are visual so here is wh...
