December 2025: Budget report

 

Budget overview:

HAPPY NEWY YEAR! ALL THE BEST TO OUR READERS!

Last month of the year, and it's the holidays season, and usually for us, it's the season we usually spend the most. Not necessarily on gifts. But mostly on traveling. We usually try to spend either Xmas or the NY in another country. 
Well this year is no different. We flew our son to gather up for the end of the year celebrations. 

And of course, we went above our usual spending. 

This month, we spent 4206 euros. 

December spending details:

First half of December, we spent as usual, maybe a bit extra on the Sailing Vignette and diesel as we didn't get much wind in Greece. Also it got colder, so we did have to use a bit of extra diesel to heat up ourselves at night. 

But then the holidays preparations started and we probably spent 2400 euros on these holidays, as we spent 10 nights in hotels, in different locations, from Athens, to Santorini, and went to some day excursions in Meteora. My mom also came, and she paid her part of a share to alleviate us now that she knows we are not earning money anymore. 

December vs Budget:

We spent 95% of the budget. We have January and February left. 
We have started now, after this trip within Greece, to start up our journey back to France. 
It'll probably take a month or more. 
We plan to spent February on refurbishing the boat before selling it in a better condition than it is now. 

We have 4600 euros left in the budget. 

Let's see how January treats us!
