June Income/Expenses

June is already over...it is unbelievable how quickly time is flying by. This month we tried a new diet, my nephew came for a visit, and I finally started training for my triathlon. Work has been very busy and I don't think it will ease up anytime soon, in fact it will get worse this fall. But I guess I just need to take it one day at a time. On to my income and expenses!


Expenses:
My expenses are listed to the side. On each line I have the budgeted amount per month, the actual
amount spent for the month of May.

My total expenses were just under $1900, which is just under my planned expenses by a good amount, maybe if forgot some bills...

Everything went really well this month. I thought my groceries were going to be high because of the diet and how much I spent last month and being on a diet makes dining out less enjoyable so we did a lot less of that.

INCOME:
Paycheck: $4,943. 

% Expenses = 38% of income. Finally a good month! A great month even. I need several more months like this to reach my goal for 2015.

Dividend Income:
This month I earned $203 without lifting a finger. Not a great month but hey its money that I didn't have before. The following companies paid me this month:

Symbol Shares Div Total 6/1/2015 AFL 48 .39 18.72 6/1/2015 HP 34 .6875 23.375 6/1/2015 INTC 94 .24 22.56 6/1/2015 WFC 48 .375 18 6/9/2015 JNJ 17 .75 12.75 6/10/2015 CVX 15 1.07 16.05 6/10/2015 XOM 23 .73 16.79 6/10/2015 TGT 31 .52 16.12 6/12/2015 MAT 59 .38 22.42 6/26/2015 NOV 79 .46 36.34

A great month and helps me get to my goal of a 47% expense rate.
How about you? How was your June?
