I want to do a mid-month update since August seems to be one of those atypical months. So as of today here are the major happenings:

• Earned an extra $170 from work
• Bought a $1,200 plane ticket for my November vacation.
• Gave myself permission to splurge $500 on various things
• Have $800 of incoming cash that will be paid over the course of the next 6 months.

Right now I’m estimating a net worth of $20,500 at the end of the month despite the additional expenditures of this month.

Somehow I forgot to mention and budget for my November vacation on this blog. It will be a good one, but it will definitely set me back. I highly doubt I’ll meet my goals for the year.
