Budget Report – May 2021 Personal Finance

Welcome To Our May Personal Budget Report! Welcome back, friends. It's been a long, LONG time, but we're finally back with our first posted budget report since December. Don't worry, we've still made sure to meticulously track our spending and finances. We continue to inch slowly toward our goals each month. Every cent has been accounted for in our family budgeting spreadsheet. You may have noticed, however, that I have been more or less radio silent in 2021. Isn't that just life more than a year into a global pandemic? I'll be honest, this house full of teachers got a bit overwhelmed…

Budget Report – December Personal Finance

It's Budget Report Time Again! Welcome to another monthly budget report. Let me just take a moment to officially welcome you to winter! Hopefully, you enjoyed your holiday season, even if it looked different than normal. Did you remember to ditch the resolutions and set some New Year's SMART goals instead? I'm a little ashamed to admit that I actually haven't written a budget report update since September. At this point, I honestly don't see the sense in going back and trying to publish them this late. Let's just do a quick recap. In October, I may have overdone it a bit…

July Budget Report – Real Personal Finance Made Public

Welcome To Our July Personal Budget Report! Welcome to another monthly budget report. It's crazy late, but I have been totally swamped since returning to work this school year. Better late than never! Today, we're reviewing our July budget report to review our spending, savings, and debt repayment.Our spending is a bit higher than normal this month. We've been doing some preparatory shopping to get ready for going back to school in August. I've also noticed quite a bit more scarcity of items in the store, and prices are rising. On top of that, we did some Halloween spending. It's been…

Budget Report – May Personal Finance

Welcome To Our May Personal Budget Report! It's budget report time again. This time, we'll look at May's savings, spending, and debt repayment.This report comes a little late intentionally. It just didn't feel right to release my monthly report at the very beginning of June. I released this post instead to share my feelings about recent events and what you can do if you're not sure how to help.Remember, every month from June to February, half of all my online earnings will be donated to a cause that supports the fight for equality and justice. You'll start to see that…

Budget Report – February Personal Finance

Welcome To Our February Personal Budget Report! It's time for our February Personal Budget Report.I managed to get this report up in a reasonable amount of time! Way to go, me!In February, we had a lot of things fall conveniently into place. That alone made February one of the best months we've had in a while. As a result, our numbers look really, really good. Our progress this month is a little bit artificially inflated, but we still had to do the work, focus on our spending, and make wise choices with the money we had. So, let's look at last…
