Financial Friday 89

Location: Tbilisi [Republic of Georgia]

Week 89, here we go….

Transportation

On Tuesday, I stopped by the US Embassy to pick up my shiny new passport. Between the metro and buses, transit cost me a whole $0.36.

On Wednesday, I took the metro once to reduce the time to get to English Club (where people practice speaking English): $0.18. I normally walk, but I was running a little late.

Accommodation

I got a roommate on Friday so my lodging cost got halved: $5.63. I love it when that happens since it has a major effect on my budget.

Food

Ever since I’ve moved closer to downtown, I’ve been going out a lot more. So my food bill is a bit higher…. It’s just so much more convenient here….

Other

Travel insurance: $5.03 per day.

VPN: $0.26 per day.

Amazon Prime: $0.33 per day.

This blog: $0.31 per day.

Skype: $0.08 per day.

Chase Sapphire Reserve: $0.41 per day.

Passport: $0.03 per day.

Pimsleur’s Russian: $0.71 per day.

On Thursday, I renewed my data plan on my local SIM: $10.94. That’s for 20G of data and rollover from the previous months.
