December 2019 Expenses And Dividend Income

Mr. Tako 15 Comments

Oh what a difference a month makes!  Back in November the Tako family was blowing the doors off our regular monthly budget due to the purchase of a “new to me” car.  Weak dividend income in November didn’t exactly help our cash-flow situation either.

December was a complete turn-around story however.  It marked a return to normal spending and a chance for our cash to replenish itself with a very dividend heavy month.

How great was our December?  Read on to find out!

If I had to pick my favorite kind of restaurant on this planet, I would probably pick an Izakaya.  Not the smoky drinking-dens of yesteryear, but the newer and more vibrant version that serves delicious food at reasonable prices.

November was something of a rough month for the Tako family.  We all caught a bad cold and were feeling “under the weather” for most of the month.  It wasn’t a pleasant sight.  The family went through literal truckloads of tissue.

I’ll spare you the disgusting details, but there were actually a couple of days when I didn’t even bother to get out of bed in November.  I was that sick…

“One million.  Two million.  Three million.  Can everyone hear me OK?”

Those pleasantries completed, you begin with your opening line…

october oct

Wow!  Another month is gone already?  Holy-heck did October ever fly by fast!  I was pretty productive this October, mainly due to the kids being back in school/daycare.  With the kids away, I can generally get a good 24 hours per week to work on various projects around the house…

Which is exactly what I did for most of the month of October!  I was so busy trying to get all my outdoor projects done before our ”monsoon season” started, that I even missed International Octopus Day…

Have you tried a “Impossible Burger” yet?  It’s a burger made from a new plant-based meat substitute that’s been taking the world by storm this year.  The ingredients are mostly soy and potato proteins.  Apparently there’s over 9,000 restaurants in the U.S. that now serve some form of the “Impossible Burger”.  Pretty neat, right?

Plant based meat substitutes have been the stuff of science fiction for years…
