Expenses That Creep

Today's Post:
      Sometimes you think you are finally getting ahead into your savings account and finally saving up cash for that "thing" you really wanted to get but you don't really need.  It will generally start off slow, such as having to get your oil changed, then maybe an appliance breaks down in your house and you need to pay someone to actually fix it.  Or an accident happened where someone such as a friend was hurt and they need some cash to help them out with their bills.  It could even be someone you forgot that you owed money to and they finally came asking for it back.  All of this usually happens to me right when I finally start getting ahead on my savings and it sets me back down to almost square one again.

Bottle Service

Last Night:
     Last night I went out to one of my friends shows which he does weekly at a small Club in Santa Rosa.  He is a DJ who spins at Club Rapture and the creator of Dance.Or.Die productions.  This club in Santa Rosa tries to emulate a San Francisco dance club and does a pretty decent job of doing it.  It has a dance area with a stage for performances which vary from hip hop performances to DJs spinning.  The club also has a bar area which is separated for nights when events are 18+.  Overall it was a good experience but it brought up a question I always had every time I hear it at a club.  Why is bottle service at a club so damn expensive?

Plane Tickets

     Why is it that when someone tries to buy a plane ticket, the price just doesn't seem reasonable?  It seems like during other dates the prices just seem cheaper or at the very least closer to what one might actually be willing to pay for.  It is almost like it is really unpredictable for someone to find out when plane tickets are going to rise in price making you almost regret wanting to travel or lower in price making it seem like traveling is the best thing to do.  Then once someone does find a cheap ticket, they realize that the price on the airlines website isn't really the true price of the ticket.  One has to take on taxes for the ticket and still add fees to it.  Or if someone goes to an agency they might not be able to really see a visual of what is available and what isn't.
