Spendthrift
Due to some extra work/responsibility taken on at my job I recently was given a generous bonus.
Since it was money I didn’t fully (but was hopeful) expect to receive I wasn’t sure what to do with it.
I decided to treat myself to some stuff I wouldn’t ordinarily buy. It’s not anything crazy (so far), here’s what I’ve spent so far:
Good Coffee - we traveled to New Orleans this summer and had some great iced coffee from French Truck Coffee. I bought 3 bags so I could get free shipping - grabbing 2 of the Iced Coffee Blend and 1 of the Big River. Spent $53.
Medium subscription - there are a couple writers I follow and have been stockpiling articles in my RSS feed because they are “member only”. I decided to pay the $5 monthly fee and last night got through about half the articles. $5 well spent!
Other ideas:
A new bike - my current ride is 20+ years old. It works fine, now that I fixed the spare tire but I have been looking at bikes for awhile now. I’ll probably see how my Pedal the Cause ride goes next weekend and go from there.
A nice dinner out with my wife. Have a couple ideas where, just need to figure out the when.
