The Big (Lifestyle) Creep
At the beginning of 2023, I decided to really look at how I spent my money in 2022, according to my primary credit card. It was an eye opener, especially since I didn’t see myself as someone who eats out much, but dining out was one of my top spending categories. I guess all of those impromptu trips to get a latte and pastry really add up! That got me thinking about the days when paying more than $10 for a fancy coffee and croissant was simply not an option.
