My income sharply declined in September. My online income was great in August and I expected it to go down in September but not by so much. Online income should be better this month, but it is hard to predict. I didn’t realize I made so little in September. Since I withdrew $400 from my forgotten savings account, took out $100 from accumulated dividends, received a $150 refund for returning my defective tablet, and started the month with a surplus in my checking from last month’s income it seemed like I had more money.
I did start a part-time job in September but the first payday isn’t until later this month. I started a full-time job earlier this week and will receive at least one paycheck from it this month so October’s income should show significant improvement.
My other sources of passive and alternative income didn’t add up to too much. The cash back total of $91.86 wasn’t too bad though. I got $45 from Mr. Rebates which was almost all from my referrals’ purchases. It is turning out to be a nice bit of passive income.
Your income is about half your expenses or am I missing something?
That is correct. I spent quite a bit from savings. Things should turn around this month.
Congrats on the jobs. Hopefully you can start saving a bit with the extra income.
My first priority will be to pay off my van loan and then I will start saving.
I know this is a decline, but those still look like some nice numbers to me! Who do you use for mystery shopping? Always looking for higher paying gigs.
*They look nice as someone who has income from another full-time job. I realize they may not be enough right now.
As extra income this would be nice, as my sole income it is not so good. The main mystery shopping companies I use are Marketforce and Maritz.
