My Frugal Miser - 2023 March Expenses

March was a pretty frugal month.  The largest expense was a tax payment towards my 2022 tax liability.  I sold two rental properties last year and owe a significant amount of money.  

  • I made the second payment to GEICO for the increase in auto insurance.  My insurance went up significantly when I changed my address.
  • I was charged the annual fee for my Chase Hyatt card and made the annual maintenance fees for the self-directed IRA.
  • Utilities were high because I paid off my partner's phone early.  I did this so that we could switch providers.  I also bought a new phone as my Pixel 4 is starting to have problems.

Fun

We love adventures.  Spending on experiences makes us better humans.  
  • In March this category shows significant income!  I won at blackjack in Aruba as well as on my last night in Vegas.
  • I subscribed to AMC Unlimited.  Now we both have it as going to movies is something we both enjoy.
  • We spent a night in Macon to attend the Third Eye Blind concert.
