Happy Canada day, end of June, end of Q2 and end of H1

It’s sad to say that half of yet another year has gone by. I feel like I’ve been missing out on a lot. Making good progress on my goals though.
Ignoring investment activities, I made $17K and this pie graph shows where it went.



Maybe if I actually get around to writing some software again, I’ll show my spending in categories. It should be fairly trivial task, but I haven’t done anything of the sort in quite a while. It’ll have to wait till I’m covering more of my expenses before it means anything though. At the moment, I think I’m going to target moving in October.

Shoes

I bought a pair of shoes for $30 three, maybe even four years ago. Quite possibly even five. Suffice to say a long time ago. People keep telling me that I can't just buy cheap stuff, good quality that'll last takes more money. Personally, I'm quite surprised that my shoes have made it this far. A supposedly decent pair of shoes would have cost me around $90-$120. To make a $90 pair of shoes really worth it, I'd be wearing them for what? Nine, ten, maybe fifteen or sixteen years. I'm not going to let shoes bother me, but I'll keep it in mind that I may need a new pair sometime in the future.
