I will receive my one-time $2400 bonus in February. I'm guesstimating $1400 in take home pay.

$350 for concert tickets? SB and I are going to see James Taylor (squeee!) and Bonnie Raitt in June in Sacramento. And then in September, we will see the Eagles and the Zac Brown Band in San Francisco. (Vince Gil is singing in place of the late Glenn Frey). My brother and sister-in-law are also going. Possibly a nephew and his wife too, but they haven't decided. (This nephew is the son of my deceased brother). If they decide not to go, my brother will sell those two tickets to the highest bidder. Neither concert is cheap. The $350 is just for me. I'm going to pay for mine this month and be done with it.

As I have mentioned, I have become enamored with fancypants planners. I've even taken to watching YouTube channels about "planning". Videos depicting laying out a week or a budget or what-have-you are called plan with me videos.

I have no interest in starting a YouTube channel, but I thought I might give plan with me blog posts a try. How is the picture quality? Can you read it?



And please don't get too excited about my "leftover" money; it's only that high because I am expecting a short-term $400 loan to be repaid.

Edit: I don't like it. I will try to get a better picture. Tomorrow.

Update: that's better.
