Overall, about $150 less spent on utilities this year. I’m proud to say that I gave up my parking pass earlier this year, and since then I’ve only paid $6 to park one day. We spent less on parking and gas, and more on maintenance. It’s a marvel of modern food economics that the 18 pound turkey cost the same as the 6 ounces of Gruyere (about $8.50).Īlmost the same as last year. Even the turkey, and the homemade rolls I made. We did host Thanksgiving for the first time. We somehow spent the same amount on Dining and Takeout this year, despite not taking fancy trips to Peru or Japan.

The only loan left is our mortgage (and ones associated with our rental property), and we made no extra payments to that this year. Yup, those are the last of our student loans and car loan. Or maybe I’m just stretching for a reason to post that picture. And there are gigantic belts inside that generate static electricity. It’s loud and bright and it takes a guy in an oversized bird cage to operate it.
