How much does a gallon of paint really weigh after it dries? Not sure the weight savings is that great. I see the time and expense savings.

Reply to [OC] I tracked my spending for a whole year (2022). Every receipt was tracked in a monthly spreadsheet and I compiled this chart from there. My income shown is post-tax and after investment/saving account contributions. I get paid hourly and for overtime work. by ironicsharkhada
Nice work it’s good to have an idea where your spending is. Taxes are my largest expense. I include tracking them.
