Cool 100% Self-Employed!

Well I took a giant leap in August. I quit my day job and I'm loving all this extra free time! A housemate moved out of the 'reject room' and the new guy that moved in is paying $140/week rent! ($20/day = $600/month!)

Here's what August's financials ended up being:

Natural Gas - $31.02
Electricity - $86.28 (both gas and electric were exactly the same as last month... weird)
Water - $61.48

Other expenses:

Cable/WiFi - $101.78 (big increase because housemates wanted extra channels)
Telephone - $47.38
Insurance - $24.50
Condo Fees - $125.00
Property Tax - $109.26
Debt Interest - $382.01

Total July '10 Housing Costs: $968.71

Rent collection from roommates: $1,610.00

Monthly Surplus: $641.29

It's been raining a lot here in Saskatchewan and with the end of summer temperatures have cooled substantially outside (overnight lows around 45*F). There was a big jump in cable/wifi prices, but I'm in the midst of swindling a "student" offer where we could get both services for $50/month for 8 months.
