Lack of planning on my part induced an epic fail of the $16 challenge 
Aside from an unexpected doctor’s appointment (Hello, flu!), I had forgotten about a planned dinner and concert that were happening this week. While this $$ is already budgeted, it wouldn’t be 100% transparent to not include it in this update (but oh how I wish I could!). With the fail of my self-imposed challenge, I’ve realized I need to watch my spending even closer in November. An abundance of social plans will surely compete with this goal, but I will plan better for these costs. Happy Halloween, everyone!
