$50 Day

Plans for the Day

Lots of people plan the events of a day but do we really plan the $ cost of the day. Yesterday, I left the house with an event plan but not a spending plan.

Basketball
-snacks for three $3

Library (free)
-ordered books, rented 3 DVDs, 2 games and 5 books

Lunch
-fast food for three $12

Gas
-$38

So everything was spent on fuel (gasoline and food).

Happy V day!
