I took advantage of some more downtime in Madison to analyze our spending habits to date. For anyone who doesn’t find a bunch of charts and numbers incredibly boring, feast your eyes out:
The breakdown of our spending habits. More than half our expenses are on food… and we eat out way too much.
The monthly breakdown (and average) of essential and non-essential (like new brakes and new climbing gear) purchases. Looks like we can survive by only spending ~$900 a month (each).
I couldn’t help myself…
In terms of the rest of our activities, I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves (although I’m not really sure if they are speaking for themselves when I include captions with each one).
Our possibly ill-advised shooting spot in my sister’s garden.
Fresh picked vegetables and guns… perfect combo?
While not nearly as badass as the fireball my brother-in-law shot in the cover shot, I do look rather intimidating.
I went to a You-pick Corn potluck, where you get to go into the fields and harvest and eat your own fresh corn. After picking corn, the sugar starts to turn to starch, so fresh, raw corn is surprisingly sweet and way more delicious than I ever could have expected.
I rock-scrambled to the top of the cliffs at Devil’s Lake with my best friends from college. And couldn’t resist doing my signature jump…
We finally both agree on some sort of media! I love that song, but you are still wrong about basically all movies.
I guess that counts for something. Although I can’t even take credit for coming up with that graph. It’s from How I Met Your Mother.
Yummy, sweet corn is the best! Eating out is such a budget-killer, so true! Still, how much fridge/cooler storage do you have?
We have a fridge, but the space is super limited. It can be good because we can’t accumulate or forget about anything, but it’s hard to keep many leftovers.
Fridge is 18 liters
