August 2015 Income/Expenses

August 2015 Income/Expenses

Last month’s report is slightly late as I’ve just returned from a fantastic trip away to visit family in France. The weather was beautiful and the wine less than £2 a bottle! we stayed in one of my parent’s gites with a private pool right outside. Amazing what you can buy in another country for a price which wouldnt even get you a studio flat here in the South East.   On to the Income/Expenses! I think it’s important to…

July 2015 Income/Expenses

It was payday yesterday which means time for this month’s Income/Expenses! I think it’s important to keep track of your income/expenses every month as it allows you to spot trends and areas for improvement. I find it really useful to track the spending changes each month, and really motivating to see the networth improvements. Sometimes it can seem like financial independence is so far away, but by watching your networth steadily increasing you’ll know you will reach that point eventually….

March 2015 Income/Expenses

It’s payday tomorrow which means time for this month’s Income/Expenses! March seemed to fly by for me. I was working hard on a big project at work whilst also trying to keep an eye on lowering that grocery bill. No major one-off expenses this month and only a couple of meals out with friends. The homebrew was finished and despite being a bit flat.. was very tasty with some lemonade added in. The great result from this is absolutely 0…

February 2015 Income/Expenses

It’s month end today which means time for this month’s Income/Expenses! February is the month where all our big annual expenses come in as its the anniversary of us purchasing the house. I also registered my motorbike in February so annual expenses relating to that come in this month too. Fortunately the bike passed it’s first MOT, the mechanic commented on how high the mile counter was for such a small/cheap bike.. he couldn’t quite believe I’d used a £700…

January 2015 Income/Expenses

It’s payday tomorrow which means time for the first Income/Expenses report of 2015! Expenses are running high this month as I bought a new bike (finally) and got the last of the required house furniture to allow us to finally finish unboxing things a year after we moved in. I’ve had a really productive month; managing to keep both of my January challenges of no alcohol and maintaining a low carb diet. From the peak at the start of the…

December 2014 Income/Expenses

It’s the end of the month which means time for this month’s Income/Expenses! My company has a policy of paying salary before christmas so I have tried to do the calculations ignoring this early payment. This month has seen me neglect my online commitments slightly as I’ve been busy seeing family etc over the holiday season. Tomorrow is a new year and a new challenge to work towards that early retirement! Google Analytics tells me we had just over 3000…

November 2014 Income/Expenses

It’s payday today which means the shops have been heaving and the pubs will be merry tonight. But more exciting than all of that is this month’s Income/Expenses! This past month has seen me start on my first semi-long term project at work. While this has meant an hour drive each way.. all of that is expensed by the company and so I’m not left out of pocket. Additionally I now have to begin picking my permanent company car which…
