I’m going to try to make this short and sweet since September didn’t bring any surprises. My final account balances at the end of the month:

Liquid Assets	Aug-17	Sept-17	Change
Cash & Checking	$1,158	$1,000	($158)
Brokerage #1	$150	$161	+$11
Emergency Fund	$3,385	$3,390	+$5
Short Term Savings	$2,000	$3,000	+$1,000
Vanguard Fund	$500	$0	($500)
Illiquid Assets	Aug-17	Sept-17	Change
Brokerage	$466	$472	+$6
Savings Bonds	$2,085	$2,120	+$35
Retirement	Aug-17	Sept-17	Change
Roth IRA	$17,657	$18,249	+$592
Traditional 401K	$27,423	$29,477	+$2,054
Net Worth	$54,824	$57,869	+$3,045
% Change			5.6%

The biggest change is that I’ve merged some funds into my short term savings to prepare to buy a condo.

I’m not going to update my goal progression this month because I’m lazy and don’t feel like it.

September Budget

Category	Budgeted	Actual	Remaining
Rent	$1,650	$1,650	$0 over
Fixed Expenses	$100	$90	$10 under
Medical	$-	$275
Food	$200	$146	$54 under
Travel	$250	$270	$20 over
Everything Else	$250	$315	$65 over
Total	$2,450	$2,471	$21 over

My food budget is low because I was on business travel for half of the month. I don’t include my reimbursed business expenses.

I broke out my travel expenses for once as I prepare for my next vacation. My plane tickets were roughly $200. The other $70 can be explained by things like Uber.

Overall I was $21 over budget.
