Your Imperfect Example for Budgeting Wisely-ish
Yikes. Well, we had a weekend for the ages, vising my folks (sans husband who was on a golf trip), but we treat it as such, too. It was their first home game for their favorite NFL team, and it honestly felt like a huge celebration so I don’t mind too much- or at least, I mind but justify some of it as “it’s the one time we will do it this year, and there are other big things we have already said no to or will, now.”
So it was a spendy week at over $2k, and I the number makes me wince a wee lil’ bit, but it was also incredible and there are a few big items that just happened to fall this week, too.
