Yay! Money for Camping is Badassity! When I was re-doing the budget and tossing out all the fun categories, the one that hurt the most was tossing out the camping fund. I long for camping every year. Then I learned about sinking funds. While the sinking funds are still bare bones, I added a camping category. It's not as much as I used to spend camping, but it still enough to enjoy a luxurious time in the the Eastern Sierras during the summer and stay within my income (I used to spend 117% of 100% - if not more. Oi!). And by luxurious, I mean in a tent in a beautiful campground, enjoying frugal dinners, tossing a fishing line in the lake and hiking many miles in the Eastern Sierras. Amen.
