I tracked my gig expenses for 3 months and I'm spending way more than I thought

Started tracking every expense related to acting work. Not just big stuff — everything. Here's what 3 months looked like: - Gas/parking for auditions: $340 - Self-tape backdrop + lighting upgrade: $180 - Backstage + Casting Networks subscriptions: $150 - Headshot retouching: $75 - New wardrobe pieces for auditions: $220 - Printing resumes + headshots: $45 - Acting class (online): $200 Total: $1,210 in 3 months. $400/month. In the same period I earned about $4,200 from acting. So my actual take-home was closer to $3,000. I knew acting had overhead but I wasn't tracking it. Now I am and it changes how I evaluate rates. A $300/day gig 45 minutes away isn't really $300 — it's $300 minus gas, parking, wear on my car, and 2 hours of unpaid drive time. Is anyone else tracking expenses? What are your biggest hidden costs?
