I spent $30 on entertainment in the past few days. First of all, with the lottery totals so high, I decided to buy a ticket, but I didn't want to go out for it. I figured out how to do it online, but I had to put $10 in my "wallet." Oh well. I have bought two tickets, one for MegaMillions and one for PowerBall. On the first, I matched two numbers but won nothing. On the second, I matched nothing. Don't lecture me, please! I only buy tickets on the rare occasions when the jackpot is extremely high, and there is a reason I classify the expense as entertainment. A few days of harmless dreaming!
Then yesterday I spent $20 to rent "News of the World" on Amazon Prime. I enjoyed the movie and do not regret the decision. I did the same when "Emma" came out on demand. I figure I will spring for the cost when the film is something I really want to see. That doesn't happen too often.
Variables are now at 33%, a little over halfway through the month. Pay day is coming up on Wednesday, but most of my spending will be on fixed bills, not counted in variables.
Glad I stocked up. It's snowing nonstop, though we are predicted to get only a few inches.

No lecture from me on your entertainment spending. It's not like you are spending the money you need for your bills. Glad you enjoyed the movie rental.
