My Frugal Miser - April 2023 Expenses

April hurt.  It was probably the most expensive month in history, thanks to the tax man.  The good news is my 2022 taxes have been paid and I am now focused on making the quarterly tax payments for this year.

  • I paid my next 6 month GEICO premium early to help me meet the sign up bonus on a new credit card.
  • I was charged the annual fee ($95) for the new credit card.

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  
  • I booked a flight to Richmond to visit my mom in July.
