Worth a look

$3,500 October rent paidVenmo payment completed Sep 27. A separate $1,650 reimbursement from Nicole arrived Sep 26 and is shown as an inflow, not subtracted from gross outflow.

Coverage

Personal Gmail only, through Sep 27 at about 6:35pm CT. Completed receipts and a Venmo payment email were deduplicated by order, trip, and transaction. Amex's weekly snapshot is a balance aggregate spanning Sep 9 onward, not an extra transaction. The gas statement due Oct 7, a UBS payment instruction, and a utility-use estimate are not counted as this week's spend. Cash, debit without emailed receipts, card purchases without receipts, unemailed refunds, and other accounts remain unknown. Several billing emails and the Hertz invoice name Robert Suther; account ownership and reimbursement may need clarification.
