April Summary

April was not a good month health wise, still sick, the cough has gone worse and become bronchitis instead, which really is not fun.

In April I paid the taxes and so did my wife so a large amount of gold went that way.

Salary wise I got a small bonus and quite a lot of dividends that made things better.

We did again had the company come here and clear the pipes under the house as they got full.

Filling the treasure targets

• I really like dividend income as it feels nice to get extra gold income often. Lowest loot from dividends last 6 moths was 6268 gold (December 2024). Target is 5000 so ok

  April added 66591 coins (Previous month was 7942). I believe its a new record.

  
  

  New investments was 28098 coins (Previous month 8555). Target is 15000 so it was ok. I probably should have waited even more but I like to grow the future dividends.

  
  

• Gold in the reserve coffer: Target is 200 000 currently 174 000 (previous month 147 000), still being built up so not reached yet. It increased more than normal thanks to the bonus money in the salary but probably it will go down during may as there are several high cost items coming up.

  
  

• Saving is the difference between income and spending for me and my wife. As income we have two salaries (I work 100% and my wife 50%) and dividends from shares. Target was 50% saving and actual result was 54,28% so it was ok.

A lot of money was spent on food this month , even more than usual. Its hard for me to ignore when I find the 50% off bargains on food so I tend to fill the freezers to the brim. Probably we should buy a lot less this month of May.

I will go on sick leave for a while so the May salary will be less.

We will have someone exchanging the drainpipes on the house so that will cost around 20000.

Health:

As mentioned I know have bronchitis, the cough became more and I cough so much and heavy, is really difficult. I have been to three doctors and it was only at the last one I got a diagnosis.

There is not much to do, no medicines to take, just rest and drink a lot and hope it will pass. At least now I am able to sleep, which I couldn't do some days ago.

Also I can't exercise which make the weight bad and also feeling sorry for myself I eat what I shouldn't so I will not even check the weight this month.

I really miss the walking as now finally is starting the be warm outside.
