Some of these expenses will be high, because the food prices were starting to go up, and we took a small vacation after Easter, so that Sasha could get his new Motorbike, and therefore there are a couple of new expenses.

Note: F1 means what life energy we are spending for these amounts (remember, this is a three month period.) We figured out the life energy based on "Your Money or Your Life" book, I put it on the side so you can see it. Although I did not put the other parts of the book here - F2 -whether the cost was worth it to you, F3 - will you be spending the same amount next time, and F4 - is it part of your life goal, obviously some things are worth it to us, and some are not.

Obviously, this is an expensive quarter, mostly done in March when we bought the Motorcycle. Also the Toy Gear has taken the place of ATV/Bike stuff, as we have added a new vehicle. I think people might think of us as gear heads now.

The Food and Meals to Go numbers reflect the increase in prices for food, however, we did not spend as much money on diesel prices as we hardly used the truck.

Fun Stuff is reflecting prices on motels and airline travel. I'm not convinced this is fun, but it was necessary.

We re-upped for Costco Membership in January, but went with the smaller fee. We will see how much we use it and if it really is worth the $50.

We'll see how next quarter is, being in a new area.
