November has been a great month in a lot of ways, but not financially. I finally found an apartment to live in, but this also means I am now paying rent (a lot). And I had to buy a lot of stuff, like paint for the walls, some cupboards, a vacuum cleaner, and some other things. This ate away at my budget. I didn’t work as much as I hoped either, there weren’t that many shifts available. I did start a third job now, so that should be bringing in some more money in December. I did achieve my goal of keeping my bank account in the positive though, and I did pay off half of my debt to Brother 2 (€125). Here is a financial overview of November.
November
Money earned: €947,03
Money spend: €813,87 (+125 debt payment)
Debts:
Brother 2 €250
Dad €612
Mom €9657,50
College loans €a lot
Total €loads
Debt payment this month: €125
Paid off so far: €291
New Total debt: €still too much
Again, I did not achieve the internet income goals I set for myself. Not even close actually. Between the working and the moving houses I just did not have that much time. With Amazon I earned $5,03 and with Adsense I earned €8,73 (which is 5 cents less than last month). Still not enough for a payout.
Goals for December
Internet goals
Hubs: 100 (now 76)
Infonus: 40 (now 22)
Squidoo lenses: 5 (now 1)
Hopefully this will increase my Adsense earnings to €15 this month, and bring my first payment a little closer. I hope it will increase my Amazon earnings a little as well, as December is supposed to be a great month with all the Christmas shoppers. And I hope I can get my Squidoo earnings up to $1, so that I will be able to get paid as well ($1 is the pay-out minimum and I am stuck at $0,57 at the moment).
Other goals
- Keep my bank account in the positive
- Pay off the second half of Brother 2's loan (so another €125)
