Last month I introduced a new expense report format and asked for feedback and actually got a few comments. A few people liked the new format, one person wanted more rants and another more goats. We will see what we can do… In February we left Texas and headed straight for Arizona. We might have …read more
We are running a little late on our expense report for January because I decided to make it more useful. I have changed some of the categories and am adding a few stock explanations that explain more about some of our expenses and how we live. I am presenting these with a big box around …read more
Yes, I realize that it is mid-February and I am just now posting getting our year-end expenses. But I wanted to wrap up our posts for 2019 before I wrapped up the year’s costs. And I just posted our last one on Wednesday, here we go… 2019 was a big traveling year for us. We …read more
