Found this website and wanted to share it with you. Bookkeepers consolidate this kind of information and produce Income Statements all the time, but this is something you can do yourself which will give you very useful information.

“The first step is knowing what numbers are important to your spending plan. The ‘spending snapshop’ will help you determine what your fixed expenses are each month. ‘Tallying up your totals’ allows you to list any credit cards and other loans you have plus their interest rates and monthly payments so you are in the know of how much you are paying towards your debts.”
