At the beginning of last month, I had said that May was the most expensive month so far. I guess June heard that and took it as a challenge.
Just so July doesn’t hear, let me whisper, June is now the most expensive month this year.
If only the insurance hadn’t come due! If you don’t count that, then you could say that June was the least expensive month. But, I guess I kind of have to count insurance.
Here’s the breakdown of where the money went:
Other (which includes insurance) $3,467.10
Gas 523.90
Campsites 400.94
Groceries and such 201.29
Eating out 85.35
Tourism and entertainment 56.55
Food and drink on the go 20.89
Laundry 16.50
Clothing 6.62
Tolls and Parking 2.55
RV 0.00
Truck 0.00
TOTAL $4.781.69
Yikes!
I drove 2504 miles in June and visited seven states. (Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa, Illinois and Michigan) I stayed in ten campgrounds, and actually had ten nights of free camping. Six nights were while I was taking part in an HistoriCorps Project to preserve George Washington Carver’s first school in Neosho, Missouri, and the four nights in Branson, Missouri were courtesy of a sales pitch for a camping membership group.
In the words of Groucho Marx, “I wouldn’t want to belong to any club that would have me as a member.”
