My Frugal Miser - January Income: $7,773

All of my rental properties were occupied in January; however, the management company figured out a way to make sure I received no rent from the two townhouses that rented at the beginning of the month.  These properties have become a money pit ever since I turned them over to "professionals."

Mystery Shopping income would have been higher.  I deduct expenses from income.  I booked the two flights to Hawaii; $1,200 was deducted from income and likely won't be reimbursed by the company until April.

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.
