We began our journey on Aug. 1st and now it is Sept. 1st. This could mean only one thing to a business owner who loves analyzing numbers (Josh): It is time for the monthly report!!! This may not sound that exciting to any of you reading this, but I have been looking forward to this blog post for over a week now. As a hobby of mine on this trip, I have been keeping track of all our expenses, gasoline uses, mileage, etc. on an excel spreadsheet. The report below is a summary of my hobby. I hope at least one or two people in the world might appreciate the fruits of my spreadsheets as much as I do.
