It all adds up.

There's a bar I'm a regular at. Very regular, in fact. I also keep track of my finances in a detailed way (with Gnucash). But it's still kind of ridiculous to run the numbers.

Over the last three years in the bay area I've:

• Visited it 145 times.


• Driven 6525 miles for the experience (22.5 miles each way * 145 times)


• Spent about $753 on gas (based on 26MPG and $3/gallon)


• Spent $4148 at the bar itself ($28/visit = $10-15 cover + drinks)


• For a total of $4901 over the last three years. Sheesh!
