Tag: Budget Updates
We produce a budget update that exposes our income and expenses each month. The posts describe our balance sheet in great detail, itemizing different categories of expense. We also frequently add little tidbits of life updates for the month, too.
Once a year, we also do a roundup of our total expenses and compare them against our goal FIRE number and budget.
You’ll find all of our posts tagged as Budget Updates in the listing on this page.
