As July ended, I knew I had spent much more money than usual. But once I ran the numbers, I was pleasantly surprised.
I managed to save 23 percent of my income and my net worth actually increased by 8 percent!
With the exception of my housing expenses, my largest expense categories were once again gas and eating out. I spent $128 on gas in July and $110 on eating out. Since almost all of my eating out has a social aspect to it, I’m happy with that number.
Other July tidbits:
- Donated 10 percent of my income to charitable causes
- Paid $50 extra to student loan
- Added $150 to emergency fund
- Added $150 to Vanguard Investment fund
- Added $25 to Prosper account
- Added $350 to Roth IRA

Great job! Saving 23% of your income is a pretty big deal, and an 8% jump is awesome.
