My monthly Savings Rate report: December 2021
December was, on all accounts, a special month. It’s, of course, the last month of the year, but also in terms of expenses and income.

But at other times I just wish it didn’t, like when I’m playing with my daughter. To help pass these relative times I receive a monthly salary from my employer, and this month is no different. Let’s take a look at how I managed it this month.
