October, November and December were bad months. At work I was struggling again. October I finished with 600€ less than at the start of the month. In November I broke even but I started to have health issues and worked 30% less. In December I lost another 900€ and my health problem was at worst.
Terrible period. But I tried new things and a few of them showed promise.
January was break even month. In February I have lost 500€. That was last bad month. Since then things got better. March, April and May I cumulatively increased my bank by 3700€.
I do mistakes from time to time. There was one mistake which went my way and I got 800€ from that. But even without that mistake, it is still almost 1000€/month saved.
In brutto the numbers are even better. I had a lot of expenses and invested in new tools (PC, display, smart phone etc.) and well being of my family.
What is even better this improvement is systematic!
Firstly in May I remortgaged my debt which not only decreased interest and amount of monthly payment but also drastically increased my bank. As of 13.6.2016 my bank is 27070€. This kind of money makes my work much easier! Also I have access to another 6350€ available anytime in case I need them.
Interest I pay on debt went down from 10% to 2.8% and monthly payment from 480€ to 265€. There is still opportunity for shedding 65€ monthly and bringing interest to 1.8% p.a.
Secondly, I have now great working strategies. Nobody can tell how long they will be around but I would say this opportunity will last a year maybe more.
My overall debt is also lower.
In October I was 26000€ under water. Now it's 24900€.
So, let's roll!

Summer, autumn 2015 summary
This will be the post where I summarize where I was at in October 2015 for future reference. I wrote this on October 9th 2015 but didn't publish somehow. Shortly I will post a second part about the time since October 2015 till now, June 2016:
Regarding my work and bankroll - July was great, best month of the year for me, August was also great about 70% of July profit. I saved and increased my betting bank by about 3 500€ in those two months.
I was stagnating in September, earned less, had bigger expenditures and finished with bank smaller by couple of hundred €s than at the beginning of the month.
My bank is currently at 13 800€, highest it was this year. I owe 23 800€ at average interest of 10% so I am still 9 800€ underwater. But now because of my work and various strategies I learned, the trend is positive and upward. It is much better position than have a bank of 23 800€ and be losing money.
Till the end of the year I want to save & pay out at least 4000€ of the worst debt and that will bring my interest rate I pay for credit to 7%. I will be happy with that interest for next year and my creditor is happy with that too.

so this was written in October 15. It's correct except the mortgage debt is missing. Including mortgage, debt wasn't 23800€ but 39800€ so I was 26000€ underwater at the time.I will account for this debt in future calculations, as I have refinanced my debt completely with new mortgage. But I will not put my residential property in credit because its value is not clearly determined and it´s not an investment. But it´s safe to say it has much higher value than my mortgage debt. So bank is happy and me too because of very low interest, considering all circumstances.
