The first thing to remember is that the goal is to empty your personal draw pile before your opponent(s) can empty theirs. Everything else should revolve around that goal. There are two elements of Skip-Bo that you control: playing a card to one of the center piles and playing a card to one of your discard piles.
In common usage, an expense or expenditure is an outflow of money to another person or group to pay for an item or service, or for a category of costs. For a tenant, rent is an expense. For students or parents, tuition is an expense. Buying food, clothing, furniture or an automobile is often referred to as an expense.
With this, people can distinguish cost from expenses. People tend to use cost and expense in the wrong way. People use the word cost when they are buying things with no return of investment, when in fact cost is used when you are buying an asset. Assets put money in your pocket, like businesses. This is one of the most important differences between the words cost and expense. Cost is used for buying assets, while expense is used when buying liabilities. SUMMARY: 1. Cost is used on something that has returns, while expenses are expenditures used on things that depreciate.
