Income and Expense Graph
This graph shows quarter-by-quarter the actual deposits (cash receipts) from wages and other earned income vs. the expenses incurred during that quarter. The first quarter showed healthy earnings while Isabel taught classes for UC Santa Cruz and DVC. By the third quarter, however, the unemployment earnings that Isabel collected was inadequate, combined with a slow quarter from Sean’s other business, to cover the monthly out-flow.
(Fourth quarter figures are still being tallied.) |

Net Worth
This graph shows quarter-by-quarter any changes in the family’s net-worth. The increases are primarily because the home loan payments are marginally reducing the family’s debt. Also, Sean is slowly paying down debts incurred when starting his other business. One additional change occurred in the third quarter when the family received a new property tax bill and found that the value of their home had increased by 2%. |
