So recently I got a check from my boss and spent it all in one day. I bought a meal with a friend, a new controller for melee, a new wallet, some socks, and a new pair of shoes.
I do not regret any of my purchases but it just goes to show you have fast money evaporates.
I’d been looking for a new pair of casual shoes for a while but never found one which really spoke to me. Being about 90+ dollars I decided to wait for “the one”. When I bought my new adidas I was very excited to wear them. I thought, and so did my friends, that they were totally sweet. Definitely “me” (whatever that entails).
I tell you all this to lead up to the present. It is 6:48 AM and I am sitting in shipleys without any money to buy a doughnut. It is torture. I specifically got up and decide to come to spend some time here and try and get some work done. But alas, I had remembered that I was basically broke because I lost my wallet a few weeks ago.
Now I am paying the price for those shoes. It isn’t that I regret buying those shoes so much as the timing.
My point with this pointless story is not to worry about things you don’t need if you aren’t first comfortable with things you need. I guess this is obvious but I would actually have a problem if I needed to buy groceries and not a doughnut. Yes, I would look fresh while starving but I’d rather be full than have shoes on I don’t wanna get dirty.
So moral of the story: Don’t lose your wallet and also make a budget and finally do not go to the mall with a wallet full of cash.
