My Frugal Miser - October 2023 Expenses

 October spending was high.

  • I replaced the tires on the Elantra and paid the annual AAA dues.
  • While having my teeth cleaned I mentioned a little discomfort in one tooth.  The dentist started a crown, but while waiting for the permanent crown I was in a lot of pain.  Found out I needed a root canal.  Spent nearly $2,000 for the crown and root canal.
  • Since I didn't work as much, we spent more on food than we normally do.

Fun

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  
  • I planned a 3 night getaway to Columbus, OH to take a closer look at a real estate deal.  It was $250 roundtrip for airfare for two.  To keep my partner entertained, I bought concert tickets for one night and tickets to see Mrs. Doubtfire a second night.
