Spending

11:07 PM

I often scold myself for spending too much money. I like to buy stuff, but the sensible part of me tells me not to. So almost everyday I have this argument with myself about how much money I want to spend vs. how much money I earn. If I was a logical person, I'd realize that it's not practical to spend all the money I earn. But I do it anyway. If I feel hungry, I'll spend $6 on fast food. If I'm in a department store and I see a movie on DVD that I like, I'll buy it. I don't care. But at the end of the month, I'll look at my bank statement and say, "Where did all my money go?" And the sensible part of me will say, "I told you so."

  • I wonder where my money's going.... and then I started writing down everything me and mr lost bought on a daily basis, since on paper, we should have roughly x amount left over every month....
    a lunch here, a DVD here, a book there....
    and you feel bad for spending money on stupid crap but then you think, I have to live somehow - I can't just sit at home with no cable, no music, no fuzzy socks..... no wine...... and it's not like I'm buying jewelry and paying a maid, I'm just getting small comforts for chrissakes... we just like little things that can break the drudgery of daily life.... we DO spend the majority of our lives working so we might like to enjoy the time we get at home...
    but then it goes back to, where does all my money go?

    ...a chat with you and somehow, death loses its sting.
