My Money Making, Saving, and Investing Reports
Once a month, I write a detailed money making, saving and investing report that covers what I made, saved, and how I invested. I begin by describing the action plan for the previous month and covering what went well and what crashed and burned. I then wrap up the report by including a new action plan for the next month.
I hope that you can read these reports and take something away from them that can help you to earn more, save more, or invest more smartly for the future. If you have any ideas on how I could improve to save/make/invest even better please let me know!
Why?
Here’s why I’m posting this info:
- I’m doing this to help motivate people to make more money, save more money, and invest for the future.
- I’m also doing this to force myself to take a much closer look at household’s money to make adjustments for maximum efficiency.
- Talking about money in this amount of detail is taboo in my culture (US), and I’d like to change that by being as transparent with folks as possible.
- It might open up advice others can give me on how I can make/save/invest even better!
Please understand that my wife and I have both put in a lot of work to obtain highly technical degrees (Engineer and Physical Therapist), and we’re pretty well compensated for these skills. It has taken us a lot of hard work and sacrifice (four years of college for me and 7.5 for my wife), and some outstanding luck to for us to make it this far in our careers (14+ years in workforce). But, I’m interested in taking our savings, earning, and investing to the next level. The good news for all of us is that if we put our mind to it, practically anything is achievable.
Hopefully these reports will inspire and help everyone here to have a more open discussion about money. That’s my goal!
