Post Your Wins

Purchased my 2024 fishing license last week and discovered it will be the last one I have to purchase.
Once you hit 64 in this state, can buy a "forever license" for $23.

Nice. We're approaching that age where we get to start taking advantage of all sorts of senior discounts. There were a few here and there at 55, will be more at 62, and even more at 65 so we've still got a few years to go. I'll take whatever discounts and freebies places want to give us.

My buddy (a HS classmate) remarked ....... That's because they figure we don't have too many years of fishing left

I just redeemed $130 cash back from our Chase Visa.

An item DH recently purchased at Costco went on sale. He took in his receipt and got a $5 price adjustment (credit to our card).

My wife got a check in the mail today for $243 from one of our local hospitals. Of course it gave no indication what it was for but she was able to log into the patient portal and eventually figure out that it was a refund of the copay we paid when she was admitted in December 2022. Totally unexpected money so that's a win for sure.

I love unexpected money! It's like an unexpected Christmas present.

Been having great success fishing for crappie over last several weeks. Fillet them up, 10 fillets to the bag and freeze in water, feeds 2-3 people.
Have put quite a few good meals in the freezer and eaten a few meals of fresh fish as well recently.

Not to mention, it's lots of fun.

I went to book a rental car for a sisters trip and my SIL asked me if I had a corporate discount we could use. I have used our corporate discount (allowed) for hotels but have never thought to check for car rentals before.

I was pleasantly surprised to discover how good our discount is. I saved $100 for the weekend and then another $150 for a trip later next month.

Win!

Caught a bunch of fish and found a few mushrooms last few days.
That's always a win in my book.

Casino gift day.

Sold a car. $1k less than I bought it for, 5 years ago. It was a fun car, and the young man who bought it from me was absolutely thrilled to have it. We just paid the insurance policy too, so 6 months of premium will be coming back!

That's amazing. What a crazy market. You got to "rent" a car for 5 years for $1,000. I would take that deal in a heartbeat.

Technically it's a low-mile classic car, and had I sold it in 2022, I probably would have gotten 1-2k more for it, but I wasn't done enjoying it yet. I waited too long, but, to your point, for 5 years of ownership, 90% resale isn't bad, classic or not.
