June 2021 Financial Update

 In my mind, I thought I've been doing financial updates weekly, but maybe that's only in my head. Or, admittedly, a lot of my updates are embedded in my blog posts.

I think this blog has become my therapy blog, but when I get so much out of seeing other people's numbers, it feels like I should pay it forward.  In my defense, I do keep my working budget on my sidebar so it's really always there.

Nothing changes much during the year.

But anyway here we are. 

This might not be much, just a copy and paste job. 

Expenses

Your Spending

DATES	SPENDING
Total	$2,958.01
April 2021	$1,403.71
May 2021	$901.62
June 2021	$652.6

Income

Your Income

DATES	INCOME
Total	$11,774.93
April 2021	$3,894.05
May 2021	$3,898.05
June 2021	$3,982.83

I actually don't know what this means because I don't really analyze my income on this aggregator. But this does appear that I should maybe (?) have been able to save about $8k in the last 3 months. Who knows. Like I said, I don't really look at income using this tool so I don't know what this data captures. 

I guess my heart is not really in this analyses. 

But I'll keep trucking.

I mean nothing really changes in terms of income because I'm salaried. 

As for expenses, there haven't been too many big expenses that I can think of.

I stopped paying my mortgage starting June and this has continued into July. That might be the difference in Expenses you're seeing.

We can spotcheck June just for a little peek if you'd like.

June Expenses broken out

CATEGORY	SPENDING
Total	$652.68
Bills & Utilities	$196.03
Food & Dining	$178.86
Home	$172.27
Misc Expenses	$59.83
Auto & Transport	$24.72
Fees & Charges	$20.97

Bills and Utilities is just that - almost always the same for internet and utitlities.

Food and Dining tends to be around $200/mon.

Home is for the plumbing fix that I have no idea if it was fixed since the problem has been intermittent.

Misc Expenses - I'll have to take a look and recategorize that. Oh it's what I historically have included as line items under Incidentals or Everyday expenses - so just like household items and things like that. That's just the default category for this particular app. I've been hesitant to include these expenses under Home because I want to be more easily capture home ownership items under "Home."

Auto & Transport - gas from just toodling around town

Fees & Charges -  robo-advisor broker fees, womp, womp. 

So  there you have it. Sorry that wasn't more exciting. I'm in a weird mood now. I think these financial updates stopped being exciting because it's all on auto-pilot now.
