My Frugal Miser - July Expenses: $5,362


July was really expensive.  A few expenses were prepaid items:  $500 towards health insurance premiums, $99 for annual moped insurance, and a quarterly tax payment of $1,819.  I booked a 6 day all-inclusive vacation in Playa del Carmen.  For $1,564 I purchased two round-trip flights, transportation to the resort, and six nights at an all-inclusive resort.  Last, we spent way too much on food.  We've developed a bad habit of eating out.  I think after we move we will be eating at home more often.
