Finance Review: March 2022
March is a nice and routine month. I’ve made new happy memories. And to be a bit melancholic, I’ve also learned some life lessons, some about money and some not.

Spendings Report: $3,064 And they say retail therapy is cheaper than real therapy. Last month I said that a teacher was out recovering from surgery, that…
Finance Review: September 2021
As we head into winter, take care of yourselves. I always have a harder time in the colder darker months and must remind myself it’s worth the effort to crawl out from under my blankets. Spendings Report: $1,105 Would it be bad to admit I was surprised at how little I spent this month? About…
