November Income Statement

November:

It appears I had three paychecks in November. The "other income" is made up of a paper paycheck (before direct deposit kicked in) and some rebates from my pet insurance.

Power is way down, phone is up, because of the stolen phone. Only one insurance bill this month - evens out with the three last month.

Lots of debt repayment going on. This is certainly what a typical month would look like there. The CC6 was some clothing purchases. It is paid off as of December. CC2 got hit with the phone replacement - had been paid off. CC3 resulted from financing new carpet. In the months of caring for a sick and elderly dog, it took a toll on our carpet and also our wood floor in the two rooms he was confined to. The house stank and the carpet was nasty. It had to be replaced ASAP. We are going to live with the wood damage for now; it isn't too bad unless you know what you are looking for. It is 0% if we pay it off in 12 months. This is the 3rd card I plan to pay off (hence, why it is named cc3).

Our gas and restaurant expenses are down. Grocery is down, but not significantly so. Pet expense is high, in part due to funerary expenses for my dog. "Supplies" were a couple of pieces of furniture I got to make my Thanksgiving guests more comfortable. Travel is my husband's plane ticket to his parents for Christmas. I can't go - new job. My husband hurt his ankle which required a trip to the emergency room. Doll expense is down (Cyber Monday sale) but gaming is up (Our Wii has been broken for a few months, and we finally sent it in. My husband spent some extra money in WOW - god knows why). We still see some clothing purchases.
