Update on spending since my last entry --

OTC drugs: $11
Prescription: $5
Groceries: $21
Movie: $6
Stamps: $7
Radiology bill: $143
Photo development: $8

Upcoming expenses (next month):
Dog's annual: ~$200
Dentist (cleaning): $80
Dentist (filling): $125

I also have a colonoscopy scheduled but I assume I won't be billed till the following month.

After that I'm going to have to start putting money aside for the two crowns I need.

Way back in the day, when I was a clerical worker, my employer placed $10 in a pension fund for me. It was only $10 because I transferred to an administrative job soon after and no more funds were ever put into that particular account. Well, they realized I retired and I just got a check for $34!
Would have been $40 but they kept out $6 for taxes. Now, if that had been $100,000, I would have gotten $340,000!
