My frugal Miser - June 2023 Expenses

 May was another expensive month.  Fortunately some of my spending was pre-paying for future expenses.

  • I paid the $250 annual fee on my United Quest credit card and also paid a fee to use my card to pay quarterly taxes.
  • I prepaid the water bill.  They don't charge a fee to pay by credit card and I was trying to reach a sign up bonus on a new credit card.
  • Thanks to all my meeting work, many jobs provided a healthy per diem that went unused, so it's cash to me.  I often get to eat from the attendee meals.


Fun

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  
  • I paid the balance for our September cruise and purchased an all-inclusive beach day excursion.
  • I bought tickets for two shows when we visit Las Vegas this week.
  • We pay for an AMC Unlimited plan.  
  • I purchased a few IHG points due to a promotion.
