Happy Independence Day! Did you have a good month? June was a fun month for us. RB40Jr finished school and we went on a road trip to see friends and families. This road trip was put off twice due to Covid so we were all looking forward to it. We had a great time, but it was an expensive trip. The price of gasoline peaked and hotels were expensive as well. But it was worth it. We\u2019re back home for a few days, then we\u2019ll go visit my parents in Thailand. Mrs. RB40 took a sabbatical so we can travel the whole summer. It\u2019s been great so far.<\/p>\n

On the personal finance side, June was rough. Our income was much lower than usual because Mrs. RB40 didn\u2019t work. I also didn\u2019t work much. Our monthly expense was also high due to travel. We had to draw down some savings to fund this summer vacation. That\u2019s okay, though. We saved a lot earlier this year. I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll get back on track in the fall. We\u2019re comfortable enough to splurge a bit.<\/p>\n

Oh, the stock market dropped a significant amount in June. Our net worth also dropped, but I wasn\u2019t worried. I was on vacation and didn\u2019t pay attention to the market at all. I\u2019ll keep adding to our investment and ride out the bear market.<\/p>\n

First, I\u2019ll share how I\u2019m doing on my New Year goals. Then, I\u2019ll show you our monthly cash flow. Here are the details.<\/p>\n
