August Update. The “I’m getting old” edition.

Monthly Financial Update

Personal Highlights for August:

• I just celebrated my 36th Birthday.  Wow, I’m old..and I’m feeling it.  My back hurts, I got some weird growth on my eyelid, grey hairs are everywhere…So how did I celebrate being so damn old?  Naturally the wife and I played Super Mario World and had some drinks…
• In Lieu of random back pain, an ever expanding beer belly and general “oldness” I decided I should probably do something.  I registered for soccer (starting in October) and have started running a few miles on the treadmill each night.
• The Premier League has started up again, and I decided to check out the 1 month trial of the subscription service DAZN.  So far I’ve only watched 2 games, but I’m leaning towards keeping it.
• Amber got me a bunch of syrups & bitters to add to my cocktail collection, from a locally made company ABIDING CITIZEN.  Here is my updated collection:
  
• Financial Highlights for August:
