Well, At Least It's In the Black

Okay. So, um, yeah. In preparation for a financial makeover by an expert, Trev and I are tallying our assets and our liabilities. It’s the first time in our 2-month marriage that we’ve put the numbers side-by-side on paper. It’s kind of like modeling your oldest pair of undies, the ones with the holes and threadbare patches in all the wrong places, the elastic gone in one leg.

We have entered every transaction of the last six months into a form that spits out category totals with alarming efficiency and we have learned the following:

- We spent more on the wedding than we thought.
- Our ‘restaurant’ category is atrociously high.
- We spend more on clothes than we thought we did, and still complain that we have nothing to wear (okay, I do). Which means we are crap shoppers (okay, I am).
- My ‘stuff’ column on my credit card was all iTunes and Audible purchases. So, so, so many of them.

And finally, the grand total. After pounding keys and pulling levers, the Magic Number Cruncher spit the out the number:

Trevor and I are worth a whopping $1,033.86.
