June Expense Report
June included 2 conferences, a week-long trip to the Netherlands, a writing retreat, and prepping for my big epic scavenger hunt birthday party. It also was the first month that I took a paycheck from Oh My Dollar! which is not yet quite enough to support myself off of, but getting there!

Income Statement
My stated income comes from my May paycheck, because I live on last month’s income. That means all income from May was allocated towards June’s expenses.
This was my first month ever taking a paycheck from my business, Oh My Dollar! My taxes are saved for before I issue my paycheck, as are business expenses and a profit distribution (thanks to reading Profit First) – so what you see here is what I keep. In the coming months, I plan to release quarterly reports of my business income and expenses (although right now it’s not *that* interesting).
