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.
To capitalize an expense and record it as an asset means the company plans on using the item purchased for an extended period of time in the future. An expense is capitalized when it is recorded as an asset, due to its future value, on the balance sheet rather than an expense on the income statement.
