Remember Merch and "plan the work, work the plan"?

September 11th, 2012 at 02:31 pm


Anyone remember merch from a few years ago? I really liked following his blog (and boy, was I money mess back then!) The one thing I took away from his wisdom/advise/comments was the mantra "plan the work, work the plan."

With that said, I sat down and planned the work for Friday's payday/rent collection. It looks like this:

Total income (post tax and health stuff): $2,573

Living Expenses (gas/grocer): ($425)

Utilities: ($425)
Includes: Rental prop insurance $68.55
Life insurance premium $26.08
Water (2 mos) $83.65
Electric $150
Gas $55
Student Loan $38.05

Credit card debt ($1,500)

Extraneous ($348) * This includes $125 in category
Includes DH's 4-month personal training $255
License plate sticker renewal $99

There you go, the nitty and gritty of my money life Smile

    I remember Merch! I loved his marathon analogies; they really motivated me. (Yep, I was a huge mess back then too.)

    Do you cover your rental insurance with the charges to your tenants, or do you just manage it from your other income? We have tried to have the rent for our house cover the mortgage, taxes, and insurance, but it depends I guess.
