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.
