Q3 PTC Day 68

6p - 7:30p

Budget today, then tracfone.

Actually... still nothing from Soph... couldn't wrap up tmw even if I wanted to (which I DON'T)... so f it tracfone sunday.

Budget Balance Sheet

This things really coming along.  Mint is nearly matching at this point and EVERYTHING is accounted for with some sort of budget (even if the budget for the category is $0.)

I have a couple of concerns:

$3200 / month from LEAF doesn't sound like a lot, but that's AFTER taxes.  That means nearly $40k / year AFTER taxes.  Which is something like $75k.  So kind of concerning, because it means I need to have some bigger months near the end of this year to get there.

Of course, there's syndication money, however that brings up my second concern -- the impending IRS hit of 2017.

Currently, I have not properly accounted for untaxed income that's been floating me through the great drought of May - August.

That means that my current "positive cash" situation is ACTUALLY a "negative cash" situation when accounting for the hit that's going to come.

And I can say it's probably around $750 or so and factor that in... but the truth is I don't really know.   And this is going to come back to haunt me unless I figure it out or my cash situation really improves (ultimately, the only legitimate way to go is to FIGURE IT OUT.)

Well, that's all for tonight.  FIN.
