somehow this has ended up harder than i expected.
still – only drinkin’ the diet. but isn’t that bad for you too?
I don’t make a lot of money.
Well, I make more than a lot of my peers. I consider myself pretty fortunate financially, especially for one with no degree.
But I have a serious spending problem.
I knew what I was getting into this month. I purchased a distributed home audio network called Sonos. Still, the credit card bill is much higher than I expected.
I don’t think I buy for the products and I don’t buy to single-handedly save the economy as my friend Bill jokes; I think I buy just for the sake of buying. Something about the process of shopping is, well, downright addicting.
So enough is enough. For the next month I will buy absolutely nothing. Of course the standard things like groceries and rent are exempt from this rule. However, I will make absolutely ZERO consumerist purchases this month.
Seriously, if any of you see me buying anything this month, punch me in the head.
I must succeed in this personal quest for salvation!
