Accounting for August

You know what I can’t figure out? Why my bank balances look so good when my record of spending seems so high. Maybe I made mistakes writing things down? I checked my addition. In any event, here are the numbers for last month.

Campsites                                                    $1447.42
Gas                                                                    586.38
Other Expenses                                              339.72
Restaurants/Eating Out                                 179.46
Groceries                                                          166.80
Clothing                                                            150.75
Tolls/Parking                                                     59.25
Tourism/Entertainment                                  45.42
RV Maintenance                                               45.00
Laundry                                                             10.50
Food/Drinks on the Go                                      4.22
Truck Expenses                                                  0.00
TOTAL                                                        $3,034.96

The most astounding line this month is Campsites. The northeast is the most expensive area I’ve been in so far. Maybe I made a mistake writing down what I paid. Who knows?

I was in three states in August – Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. I drove 1,678 miles. The price per gallon has been hovering around $2.20, so I think the mountains I drove through must have affected my gas mileage.

I also bought new shoes while I was in Freeport, Maine at the LL Bean store. I’ve been working on breaking them in so that they will help me move quickly when I work peak at Amazon as part of their Camperforce starting in October.

What is up For September? More RV expenses. I have an appointment to have new tires put on Flo the Airstream tomorrow. Next week, the new air conditioner  should be in and ready to be installed. Luckily, that is covered by my extended warrantee, so my out-of-pocket expenses should be $100.

Goodbye, August – hello, September!
