Today, I ended up spending (approximately) the following:
- $10 for bus fare that will last me 2 days
- $7 for gas to/from subway
- $56 for gas for my car
- $4 for parking at the subway
- $3 for coffee and an apple strudel for breakfast
- $22 for lottery tickets that will last me 2 weeks
- $2 for chocolate bars that I needed to buy in order to get cash back to buy my subway fare since they don't take debit and a bank machine was not on the way.
My day has cost me approximately $104 so far, and it's barely afternoon... Because of the lottery tickets.
I'm trying to save for struts for my car by winter (~ $200) and a pair of front winter tires (~ $250) all before the snow starts falling...
With the way things are going now, I think I can make it... I've got $75 already in a separate account waiting to have more added to it next pay so I can at least BUY the struts.
$75/$200 means I'm 38% of the way there for the struts!
SPENDING tomorrow:
On Oct 3rd, I plan to spend:
Thankfully, doing things like filling my tank & buying 2 weeks of lottery reduces my spending for at least a week by approximately $70...
Since I chose to start this public tracking on a Tuesday however, this is not a FULLY accurate report on costs as of yet, but it'll get there. Hopefully by the end of the month I'll be able to report on total necessary spending vs unnecessary spending.
Just needed to post something midday to get that down in "writing". This could be updated later today as well.

- The $15 at the post office I didn't spend today (yet) since I probably won't have time
- $4 for parking at the subway
