What a difference a year makes
It’s been over a year now since I started tracking my money, setting monetary goals, and actively working on achieving them. I knew I had made progress toward the goals, but I’d forgotten just how different things really were a year ago. Until I did a review in Quicken, that is.
I did a comparison of the past 6 months over the exact same 6 months a year ago, and was surprised at the results. During the first six month period, my top five expense categories were housing, credit (repaying a short-term business-related loan in a lump sum), business expenses, taxes, and school (repaying my student loan). For that same period this year, my top five expenses categories were investments, taxes (although they won’t normally be this high in the list), housing, business expenses, and travel. Credit and school weren’t even categories at all.
