GYFG here checking in for the August monthly financial report. If you have been reading these reports for a while you will notice that I introduce each month with the same intro month after month.

By all means if you have read the intro at least once, then please feel free to skip down to the “Summary of August 2015” section where the new content begins (click the orange link to be taken there automatically).

Last week I announced after I created the new Financial Stats page that I would also be publishing a detailed financial report on a monthly basis. In these monthly reports the plan is to give you all a month over month update on Gross Income, Assets, Liabilities, Net Worth. There is also a detailed break-down on Expenses, Investment Contributions, and progress towards my mortgage pay down goal. One more note before we get into the financial report for January.

The first report will be published …
