Wife said last week, instead of an all inclusive trip to Mexico, how about a hot tub. so I may be shopping for a hot tub
We shopped for a hot tub and had one picked out. It was ~$4500.
Then we started pricing out pouring the concrete pad and having a 220v line run to it, and then hot tub delivery and set up...the total cost was gonna run near $9k for everything. We decided to just get another inflatable hot tub. They may only last 2 or 3 years but we could buy one every 3 years for the rest of our lives and still come out ahead of the $9k cost of a real one.
Mexico trip may be back on now.
The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
Today we bought a new leather couch with matching chair and a fancy rug to put them on, plus delivery. That $2,400 wasn't even on my radar. Then just for fun we blew another couple hundred on miscellaneous stuff at Home Goods and Home Depot and agreed that we need to spend a few hundred more online for things we couldn't find or didn't like.
November's budget is looking at me with tears in its eyes, but I still have a good enough grip on cash flow to stop the bleeding before it needs a tourniquet.
