We start this episode off with a voicemail from Maggie’s mom.  Then we dig into a review of what expense categories are up and down during the past two months, and why.  We give a peek into what we spend money on each month and discuss our overall spending levels. We also share a few recent splurges.  Mike has finally learned how to splurge! 

Our top 3 takeaways for this episode:

  1. Grocery delivery is expensive.  Consider if you really need it and if it’s worth it.  
  2. Going into a store often leads to overspending, even for the most disciplined. This is one reason why your spending may be down.  Perhaps take that as a learning for the future to keep your spending levels down.  
  3. Track + manage your expenses right now.  It’s always important, but it’s especially important given the current economy right now.
