I spent like a drunken sailor last month, because one night I was a drunken sailor.
- I needed a dental filling.
- Since I didn't work many meetings, I drove for Amazon and Uber instead, which used up a lot of gas. One of the meetings I worked was in Miami and I drove, which cost a decent amount for gas. The mileage I expensed will fully cover that. I also changed the oil.
- I paid the $85 annual fee on my Marriott credit card. It comes with a free night each year which is worth more than $85.
Fun
We love adventures. Spending on experiences makes us better humans.
- I paid for a cruise we are taking in November.
- I prepaid for a short trip we are taking this week to Savannah. It's to do some real estate research but I'm categorizing everything as fun.
- I lost a lot of money one night playing blackjack on our European cruise. It was the only day I drank too much and my lowered inhibitions cost me dearly.
- I pay for two AMC A-List subscriptions each month.
