My Frugal Miser - August Expenses: $17,229

August continued the trend of gluttonous spending.  Fortunately most of the spending was for our businesses, specifically the Airbnb.  I signed a contract for new siding and impact windows.  I made the first payment in August, with more to come once installation begins in October.  There were also some expenses related to my meeting job.  We signed up for a meeting in Nashville in September and I booked the hotel and flights last month.

Then there's our personal expenses.  First, the good:  I sold the two Madonna tickets for a solid profit.  I used a small part of the profit to buy two replacement tickets for one of her Miami concerts.  I also paid off my student loans completely, a $3,790 expense.  The Sonata has over 195,000 miles now.  Last month I bought two new tires and had a minor repair done.  It's almost time to start looking at replacing the car.  The not so good include our spending on food.  We took two short vacations and ate out a lot.  There's really no excuse for how much I spend on food.  We just need to be more frugal.  In Personal Care, I bought a TENS device that is supposed to help with pain.  I've been having a lot of foot pain and since we are doing several meetings in the coming weeks I want to try everything I can to alleviate it.
