Consumption Diary #32

A key part of this challenge is to record a weekly consumption diary. This will both hold me accountable to readers of this blog, and will allow me to think about my consumption habits.

As a reminder:

  • Exempt items are those classes of goods that I am allowed to purchase new, such as food and cleaning supplies.

  • Watched items are items that I am allowed to purchase, but that I would like to cut back on. Examples include travel and certain productivity softwares. I will also always include a justification for these items.

  • Restricted items are items I am not allowed to buy new.

Finally, I will also record the goods I have sold or donated.

Physical EXEMPT Items Purchased

  • $224, Airbnb in a city.

  • $55, Airbnb in a city.

  • $55, another Airbnb in another city.

  • $17, train ticket to visit my mother on Friday.

Final Thoughts

  • This is my 100th post on this blog. As you can see, as had been the trend the past few weeks, I have greatly ramped up my expenditure, which is to say that I'm letting reopening get to me. I'm going to be traveling a lot in the coming weeks, getting as much wanderlust out of my system as possible. It's going to be so much fun.
