January 09 Budget

I know this is late but better late than never.


As you can see there has been a change in plans. I will be focusing on saving for the next few months or so. I have big and exciting things in the works.

Aside from the savings, there wasn't any significant change from this past year. January is a 3 paycheck month for me.


YAY ME!!

Hi,
I noticed your that your income went from$4600 last month to 6900 this month.I know that you got a raise but even after taxes if wouldnt seem that it would net that much or is this gross income. Or is this including side business income. Also you are you doing any 401k ira savings at this time?

@ Anon

Reread the post. January is a 3 paycheck month. Hence the increase.

No I don't have an IRA. I do have a 401K through my employer which I am participating in.

Please take whatever your trying to bring over here somewhere else.

I printed up my HPP and carried it will me everywhere. I especially took it with me when I went house hunting with my agent. I had a momentary relapse (I'll explain more on that on another post) but got back on track and stuck to my guns. I ended up with a beautiful house that fits all my needs and wants.
