My Frugal Miser - May 2025 Expenses

 I spent like a drunken sailor in May.  Some of that was pre-paying expenses, but there was some stupidity mixed in for good measure.

• Spending on food was okay because I worked 25 days in May.  I am usually reimbursed for food when I'm on the road.
• It's later than it should be, but I made an estimated tax payment to the IRS for the first quarter of 2025.
• I mentioned last month about the major changes I'm making to my healthcare.  In May I paid for 12 months access to my concierge primary care doctor.
• I prepaid for several months of home internet.

Fun

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  

• I foolishly went on a binge on Chumba Casino playing blackjack and lost a lot of money.  When you lose 9 out of 10 hands playing perfect strategy you start to question whether the game is rigged.
• I pay for two AMC A-List subscriptions each month.
