This is the Quarter where we sold our home so the things like mortgage and Utilities have gone way down. Of course, we started Eating Out - that is the Meals to Go more, so things are relative.

Note: Like I stated in Quarter 1, F1 means what life energy we are spending for these amounts (remember, this is a three month period.) We figured out the life energy based on "Your Money or Your Life" book, I put it on the side so you can see it. Although I did not put the other parts of the book here - F2 -whether the cost was worth it to you, F3 - will you be spending the same amount next time, and F4 - is it part of your life goal, obviously some things are worth it to us, and some are not.

The Household Maintenance: Equipment and Services are high because we sold the house, and the home inspector found radon in the house, so we had to get a system put in. Let's just say that was a little scary, only because we did not have much time to put in the system and get it checked again.

We had a few birthdays and our parents' anniversaries - my parents celebrated their 40th Anniversary, so we had a nice party for them, and my Aunt celebrated an important year birthday - Don't worry we won't say the year! So we wanted to celebrate. We also put the AC unit into the Camper - as Northern Virginia gets hot and humid in the summer, we did not want to be too hot, so we got the AC and had it installed in April.

I also have within the expenses my company expenses, which you will see, will be going down as I slowly stop my business.

Under Transportation, the price has gone up, as Sasha now commutes 45 miles each way to work. But he continually says to himself, "I am not pay for a mortgage anymore."

The Health Insurance is just for me, as Sasha gets it through his work.

Household Maintenance is high because we are selling the home, and so the services - such as cleaning the home, advertising the home etc. is high. But I sold the home in April, and we closed in May, so next quarter will show a decrease in household expenses, and it goes way down!

So this quarter was the change-over, part of it in a stick home, part as Full-Timers. Check out the next Quarter: Expenses_Q3 to see how our expenses were for full-time living.
