Monthly Financial Update: November 2020

For whatever reason, November has trended to be one of our least expensive months of the year, ever since I started tracking back in 2017. This year was no exception, even though this year looked so different than the last three. Honestly, it's been a long time since we've spent so little in a month…

Monthly Financial Update: October 2020

Waiting until near the end of November to write this post might have been a mistake, because I'm able to look back at the relative freedom we had to move around and do things in October stings a bit. Granted, "relative freedom" means a camping trip with our two friends and eating outside at restaurants…

Monthly Financial Update: September 2020

Looking back to where our finances were in 2017 when we had to use our emergency fund, we've come a long way in getting a closer hold on our monthly expenses and are so much better prepared to adjust as needed. We've been lucky this year to both have our jobs, though our roommate has…

Monthly Financial Update: August 2020

Considering it is now almost October, I suppose it is time for me to finish up my August spending update. Just like the previous month, I really didn’t feel like taking the time to go through everything in this detail, but it’s important. Our finances look so different since I started tracking in 2017. We…

Monthly Financial Update: July 2020

July feels like forever ago at this point. June and July seemed to march along at a decent clip, but August has slowed down to the molasses speed of March. The weather has been good though, so we've been spending a lot of it outside. This month was a wildly expensive one for us, but…

Monthly Financial Update: June 2020

Considering the month of July is almost over, it's probably time to update my June expense report here. While I would have liked to just skip going through the details at this point since the month is weeks past, the accountability of this blog makes sure that I still do it, even when I'm really…

Quarterly Goals Check In: July 2020

Well, I think I had some unfounded hope at the last quarterly update back in April that things would be more back to normal by now, but they clearly aren't. COVID cases here in the United States are higher than ever, and I'm concerned what 4th of July gatherings are going to do to them…

Monthly Financial Update: May 2020

COVID-19, protests over police brutality, continually high unemployment, and a looming recession (but hopefully not a depression). May, and all of 2020 thus far, has been a wild ride, and it appears that the uncertainty will be with us for a while yet. Thankfully, we are very, very lucky to have our jobs right now,…

Monthly Financial Update: April 2020

April's spending looked pretty similar to March, and both looked very different from months prior. COVID-19 spending looks like food, drink, and housing expenses, with very little else. While this might change a little bit through the summer months, I expect things to look pretty similar for much of the year. When travel isn't really…

Monthly Financial Update: March 2020

March was the first full month that our lives were entirely impacted by the Coronavirus, and this financial update clearly shows how different the month looked than previous ones. April will look different yet again, and it's hard to know right now what the rest of the year will bring. For the same reason that…
