I believe I’ve said it a few times already, but my latest car debacle took a chunk out of my income this month. I managed to scrape by, as you’ll see if you continue reading this post.
Since the report doesn’t include deposits into retirement accounts as expenses, even though I’m coming out ahead by $300, that’s not money I can use. Considering I invested about $500 this month through automatic investments into my Roth IRA and 401(k) including a company match, I end up with less cash in the end—as you can see in my latest balance sheet.

Why is your salary down $600? Did you deduct something from it before you put it here?

My salary fluctuates with overtime (I’m non-exempt). Also, last year, we received a “Flex” credit in each paycheck to help pay for health and dental insurance, which I categorized under salary. That’s gone in 2006.

Ok. Just noticed that and it seemed to really stand out.
