Monthly Financial Check Up: October 2011
This month I came out in the red again because I did not have any significant income.
I got a total of #66.24 from Lending Club repayments this month. I could have funded TWO new loans at $25 each but I decided to stick with my strategy of only funding one loan per month and I put the extra $25 into my ING accounts to live off.

Tracking my Finances in 2011: October Week 3
I have decided to post my weekly spending for the previous week on Fridays so you know how my cash has been flowing for the week. Please note that I get paid on the last day of the month so my cash flow net effect will usually be negative until the last day of the month.
This does not mean that I am adding to my debt, it just means that the money coming in is less than the money going out because bills are due starting on the first but I don’t get paid until the last day.
