Notes:
- All figures are in South African Rand: ZAR6=US$1.
- I had to do some heavy expense slicing after my cashflow had spiralled out of control. The main reasons are the too fine cutting of the budget (no room for unforeseen events) and two consecutive months of large unforeseen events.
- Some of my extra cash flow from previous months went into business and also reducing student loan debt.
- I am currently in the process of acquiring a property, so my situation might change significantly in the next few months.
