Another month! I like that these monthly financial summaries give me a bench mark as well as accountability. Another month down, another month still financially stable. Its exciting! I’ll detail a post later on about how I budget in general (because that’s not really Airstream life specific) but just know that these are not ALL…
Many of the folks who hear our story assume that we are somehow financially set, that we have the money to traipse about the country living off savings or other residual income not tied to daily involvement. You might be surprised to discover that our finances are likely not very different from yours. We are…
With out realizing it that post was a great tribute to you and other working dads. This has been on my mind a lot the last several months. YOU are working to provide this life style to your family – while Jess is out doing the bike rides, museums, and library’s with the kids, you are working. Don’t get me wrong – I am a stay at home mom – it is work, but it is also NOT work. Not a lot of men are willing to work more so there wives can stay home – it is a great gift you give your wife and kids. Thank you.ReplyCancel
So Sam,you mentioned your headphones but failed to share what you considered to be a really nice set. I’m currently looking into getting another set myself as my current ones hurt after barely an hour. your experience using headphones that are comfortable for hours would be interesting to hear. maybe another blog post when time permits…or a response here?ReplyCancel
Longer answer later, but short answer now: I have the AKG Pro Audio K271 MKII headphones. Closed back, with HUGE earpieces. The large earpieces sit entirely around my ear, not pressing them into my head at all. I can wear these for hours in a stretch with no discomfort. These are not noise cancelling, but the closed back (and some music) handle quite a bit of noise.ReplyCancel
Hey Jess! Hope you guys are doing well. Quick question about your budget (which I look forward to each month)…how do you keep your laundry budget so small? Ours ends up being $10-15 each week. What’s your secret?
We don’t wash our sheets often enough? haha Seriously though, we end up doing a lot of laundry at friend’s or family’s houses when we courtesy park. We seem to do that at least 2-3 a month so that helps. We also just don’t have very many clothes. All of our clothes for a week usually amount to 2 loads, max. Sheets and towels I can usually do in another load.
You should add a “total” row on your spreadsheet for each month.
Great idea! I’ll add it in.
