My August income is inflated a bit due to extra paychecks that month, September will be more of the normal income.

August wasn’t as great for me as we had some household expenses to pay for (ie. new fence) but Im hoping to get back on track in September

We’ve been trying to achieve higher savings rate each month. We’re not there yet, but hopefully we will be within a couple of months!

Well if you are not maxing out pretax investing, it could be a good way to see how much you can add to your contributions. Not sure on your long term plans if pretax savings is how you want to go or not. I do a little bit of everything, pretax, ROTH, and brokerage.

Nice saving!

cheers!

I got a secret… I have my portfolio on google spreadsheets and a page created, I just discovered that adding another page on my menu adds another line. That and I want to tweak my spreadsheet maybe a little more as well but you can take a sneak peak: http://franklyfrugalfinance.com/portfolio/

No I browsed Craigslist maybe once or twice to see what was on there, they were purchased new. To be honest spending wise it wasn’t a bad month, we went out to the movies a couple times, had dinner out a couple times, got bikes, and had a decent sized bi-annual payment. Nothing really out of the ordinary for us!

Now to get the dividend portfolio kickstarted! :)

You’re doing a nice job of keeping your spending low. Did you buy the two bikes used? That’s not a bad price. And that is really annoying about the tolls – I’ve only been through ones that are staffed with people. I guess other parts of the country do it differently!
