My Frugal Miser - June Income: $18,531

Even though the meeting industry is shut down, I managed to keep our income up.  There were some one-time inflows which made this the best month of the year.

The Airbnb is doing great.  We only had 3 empty days.  The trend is definitely towards shorter stays from drive-in guests.

Meeting work was zero.  It's possible we will work one day in July for a special gathering to demonstrate safe meeting practices.  I'm a bit skeptical about the meeting taking place, but we'll see.

Rental income only includes a house and a condo in Birmingham.  The other Birmingham house was vacant.

I received a $1,000 bonus for upgrading a bank account.  My partner received a lump sum for unemployment and made a hefty contribution towards our bills, which is posted in Other Income.

Investment Accounts Change in Value:  $21,873

My investment accounts continued to recover from the corona crash.  Unfortunately a couple of my positions may be permanently impaired.  The largest loss has been Tailored Brands, owner of Men's Wearhouse and Joseph A. Banks.  The company could be headed for bankruptcy and my 12,000 shares will likely not recover.

  1. You're doing a good job keeping your income up. If it weren't for the car purchase your income would have been well above your expenses.

    1. Thanks! I'd really like to address the expense of owning a home. I'm paying too much interest on my mortgage and the CDD fees (debt, mostly on the community clubhouse) are unacceptable.
