Sep. 12th, 2015 12:01 pmI just dropped $150 in three hours. I am feeling the shock and horror of the formerly poor.
Mind you, I'm also feeling the pride of the formerly poor, since the $150 basically brought my closet up to standard until next April or so. Being hard on my clothes and many of them being very old, I basically destroyed my winter wardrobe last year, so I had to lay in all new trousers and many new shirts as well as buy a couple of sweaters and hoodies. I bought one of those fleecy zip-up workout jackets with the vertical pocket for your phone, I've always wanted one of those. (That was actually the most expensive item in the lot.)
Also I bought supplies to make a cherry-rhubarb pie and restocked on almond butter, so in all I'd say money well spent.
Still, I did the math with the receipts and almost gave myself a heart attack before reminding myself that I just got a raise in pay and a reduction in student loan monthly payment amount, and I will not run out of food in two weeks and be forced to boil and eat the fleecy workout jacket before my next paycheck.
Mmm, fleecy workout jacket.
