Lately I’ve been locking myself up in my home on the weekends. Except for the regularly scheduled activities (running, brunch) I’ve been playing computer games. And as I am wont to do, I am playing an old game. Diablo 2 reminds me on every startup that it was made in 2001. Hopefully I will finish it one of these days.
This has helped me in my plan to conserve finances. If I don’t leave the house, it is harder to spend money.
I actually used my credit card for the first time today. I went to the after-run brunch at a restaurant. This is regularly scheduled, so it is an approved expense, but I need to keep these as minimal as possible. It has actually been ten days since this exercise started, so I think I’m doing well. (Ten days since my credit card statement starts, which is the limiting factor I’m working on.)
I do see some charges coming up when I drive to Calgary to visit family. Gas isn’t free.
