My transportation expense consisted of $130.51 for gas and $51.26 for an oil change.

Food expense was $434.81. That is divided between $310.08 for groceries and $124.73 for restaurants. I have some free gift cards for grocery and fast food that should allow me to lower this expense this month.

Household expense came in at $94.35. This was for miscellaneous household items and a small income tax bill.

February Expenses $2478.55

Rent$1554
Household$41.40

Transportation$282.49

February’s expenses were a little high, but reasonable all things considered. The trip to try to get my stepdaughter’s visa was mostly a waste. Trump put a pause on all visas from 75 countries including Thailand the day before we left. This meant we had no chance to get the visa.

Entertainment expense was for one month of Peacock, Hulu, and Prime. Credit card rewards eliminated the cost of Peacock and Hulu.

My transportation expense consisted of $41.92 for gas, $5.57 for a taxi and $235 for six months of car insurance. This expense should be lower this month.

Food expense was $331.40. That is divided between $172 for groceries and $159.40 for restaurants. A couple of free gift cards helped keep this expense lower than usual. This expense will go up this month, but I hope I can keep it under $400.

Travel expense came in at $195.30. That consisted of $145.44 for buses and shuttles and $49.86 for hotels.

Utilities came in at $45. This was for electric, water, and internet. Gift cards from our health insurance paid most of the electric bill. This expense will go up this month unless we get more gift cards.

Household expense came in at $41.40.

I spent $15 for phone service. That is the usual monthly amount.

The $6.67 spent on health was for some over the counter medicine.

The big expense was the $1554 for rent. This month we paid the annual home insurance bill rather than rent. Usually, we will be paying $600 a month for rent.

This month’s expenses should be a little lower. How was your month?

I made $100 from social casinos. I’ll make more this month.

I made $24.36 from a class action.

I made $100 from sportsbook promos. These deals are slowing down now, but I will still make a little more money from the promos this month.
