Sometimes don’t you sit down and go “where did I spend all my money”? I am actually very good at keeping track of what I spend, but sometimes I still think wow I spent how much! Friday was one of those days, where things just were expensive. I had dry cleaning, cab’s, meals. That crap adds up. I learned really quick that when you live in manhattan cabs are your best friend, but are evil. They are great but expensive. that means you always want to use them, but know you shouldn’t. They are like a drug. So I use/have cabs like I do alcohol, very infrequently so I enjoy them but not so much that I am poor due to them.
Friday nights spending I blame Jayson, well maybe Gretchen. I am still sick and they invited me to Outback. Now they both know I cannot turn down an Outback meal. So I go. I really didn’t have any choice. With cabs and food I am out $40. But it was so tasty!!! So bad for you, yet so good. I had the crab cakes and cheese fries. Don’t tell my doctor that when he does my cholesterol.
The other spending was necessity. It was necessary to get my laundry done. Well I didn’t have to pay to have it done, but I don’t like to do the laundry. it reminds me of childhood horrors of having to fold laundry in the loud hot laundry room in my parents building. Well it was a horror to me, maybe not to most people. I could not do the laundry and smell like most people on the 7 train? But I don’t think people at work would like that, so I pay for laundry. I look on the bright side, my wallet is allot lighter now! Well maybe that isn’t a good thing.
See when I cannot sleep readers get my crazy ramblings about spending habits.
