Spending

Today we did pretty well, all things considered.

On the way home we stopped at the store and bought prescription medication ($25.00) and a $15 phone card. I had to get the phone card, because it's the number on my resume, and I don't want to lose my job because I run out of minutes. So it's an investment.

All of this came out of our "everyday" savings account, so our savings is the same.

My wife and I both use prepaid phones because a) I really don't want a monthly phone bill (this way I can just throw the damn thing away if I choose) and b) we don't use the phones enough to warrant $40 or $50 dollars a week of expenses.

So that's roughly sixty dollars spent today on gasoline, medicine, and a phone card. All somewhat necessary, I think.

Total saved so far: $3,210.36
