My Frugal Miser - August 2025 Expenses

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.
