Monthly Spending – August 2019

Here are all of my expenses for the last month!  Other than the vehicle repair, this was a pretty normal month.  Since my dad & I were almost even, we decided to stop playing darts with quarters.  I paid him for one last game to make us even.  Betting $0.25 per game obviously didn’t change how well we played.  I don’t have any other special notes.
