Road Trip

One of my financial goals for 2018 is to save for our planned California road trip in the fall. When I posted the goal, I set myself a deadline of March to have a detailed estimate budget sorted out. And, since March starts this week, I figured I should get this sorted out.

I feel like Mr Money Mustache would totally be making fun of me if he saw me driving it…
