## Resource

I can’t believe what we spent during the first half of 2026!? Our expenses have definitely added up and even surprised us, which is why we think tracking them is so important. We lay out all of our mid-year expenses and discuss unexpected life events, house repairs, and intentional shifts in daily habits that affect everyone's expenses. This is a fully transparent look at our real-life expenses and how we feel about them.
