Fun facts from the spreadsheet

I took a closer look at the spreadsheet data for the last twelve months:
  • My requirement for petty cash averages $200 per month. I use it for evening sitters, music lessons, gum, concert tickets, and that sort of thing. Moving forward, I'll add a line item for it, to the month-ahead section of my spreadsheet.
  • I spent $912 on interest alone servicing the Line of Credit. That's a lot.
  • I spent $931 on hydro. That's approx $78 per month.
  • Gas heat came in higher at $1262, which is more than I thought it was.
  • Water came in lower at $515.
  • I charged $32056 to my Aeroplan Visa gold card. That's enough points for a nice return trip somewhere, and it justifies the annual fee associated with the card.
