Last time I did one of these was in May; I ended with a balance of $341, and then I added another $100 in both June and July, which makes a total of $541.
And I already know, even before typing up this post, that I didn’t spend all of that!
Car wash ($29.95 x 2)
I kept my car wash membership going for July and July, so that’s $60.
It’s still making me feel rich and fancy, so I’m carrying on with it for now. 😉
A brunch ($50)
Sonia and a friend visited for the weekend, and I treated the three of us ladies to brunch and tea.
Ummm…..a lamp ($30)
We took a pilgrimage to Ikea while they were visiting.
And I am sheepishly reporting that I bought another lamp.
My shopping companions convinced me. Ha.
(Not that it is difficult to convince me to buy a lamp!)
Total
All of that adds up to $140.
So, I’m ending this report with $401 in my fun money account.
However, I have a small future spending plan:
I am going to buy myself an iced latte at the end of my work week for each of the next six weeks, as a countdown to my part-time work life.
There are three work weeks left in July, but I have $17 on my Starbucks gift card right now, so hmm, I probably won’t really dip into my fun money for this until August.
And then there will only be three weeks left until I go part-time!
Have you made any fun money expenditures lately? Also, how many of you have a fun money budget?
