Re-sodded the lawn

Re-doing the fuel system and partial electrics on my weekend car. Fuel pump, filter, lines, injector rebuild and flowtesting, coil, plugs, wires. AEM Wideband air/fuel and maybe electronic boost controller next.

Also this. We are redoing our boat. But it looks like I may save a lot in travel this year.

Not really. We moved into a new place mid-March so I've been spending money on things for the house. Plus I've had to replace yardwork tools (lawnmower, weedeater, etc.) because I can't go out of state to get stuff out of my storage spot. And house projects take money. About to build a workbench and then maybe a shed.

ETA: And I got my new grill delivered yesterday. Haven't had a chance to put it together yet. Need some brauts and dogs from the Amish spot.

I know I'll save money on travel. We canceled a summer vacation to Exuma.

Spending more on food for sure since I'm not taking clients out to eat on the company's dime everyday for lunch.

Feeding the kids at home everyday has increased food cost too.

Also spending more on beer at home.

No. Grocery bill high af. Washing more dishes. More costs on Netflix, amazon prime, etc


This is weird to me. I get a higher grocery bill, but that means you're not eating out as much. Washing dishes, yes, but that isn't a big cost. How does Netflix cost more?

Could need to upgrade to the more screens package since everyone is home at the same time, but that's meeting more than halfway

I'm spending way less on going out to eat and gas so that allows me to spend more on alcohol

Probably cooks/preps enough for the other 5 days.

We used to do that but it’s a lot of work for a large family.

On the weekends I’m spending way less

During the week probably more because I keep getting high AF and ordering too much Postmates

It's the daily going out to eat that adds up...at least it is for me (especially when my wife and kids are in the mix).

Now I'm smoking a lot of ribs, brisket, pork roast, chicken etc. and my food bill has shrunk.
