My Frugal Miser - February Income: $6,428

February was an average month.  My highest-value property is vacant and my perpetually trouble tenant at one of the townhouses did not pay rent.  The loss of income from those two properties definitely shows up in the results.
Additionally, I spent a lot on mystery shopping, so the income amount is about $500 lower for February and will be that much higher in March.

I've been doing a lot of hospitality work.  I love not having reports to enter at the end of the day, but the income tends to be slightly less than I could earn from a full day of mystery shopping.  Having said that, I'm not turning down any shops, so overall the hospitality work supplements, not replaces, my other work.

Notes:.  

• I don't include transactions in my retirement accounts.  This includes rental income, dividends and capital gains and losses.
• I include merchandising and hospitality work in the mystery shopping category since the companies that I shop for provide this extra side work.
