Did you know that the concept of charging for services and goods dates back thousands of years? In ancient marketplaces, merchants would often barter goods and services rather than use currency. The practice evolved as currency became established, but the principles of pricing and value have remained fundamental to trade ever since. When it comes to budgeting for these fun expenses, remember to always account for the extras! It’s easy to think of base costs—like the pizza or yard work charges—but toppings and additional services can add up. To avoid a surprise at checkout, it’s wise to create a simple spreadsheet or keep a note on your phone where you log each item or service, along with its total cost, and calculate your budget accordingly!
