I can spend money from my fun account without guilt such as buying nonessentials or use it for travel.  One of my friends will be going to Senegal in March and I am thinking about joining him on the trip.  My fun account balance of $1,300  won’t be enough to cover the trip.  But, I won’t have to pay for lodging for one thing since we are going to visit my friend’s friend.  And I am pretty sure there won’t be another chance for me to go to Senegal.  I am really thinking about this.
