being an adult is hard
i’m in my mid-late 20’s, so i should be making adult decisions more often. the fact that i have to get (and afford) an apartment is causing me to have to cut out things that i want, but don’t need. first, i had to sacrifice the idea of getting a louis vuitton purse for vacation. now i’ve made the decision that even though i said i was still going to get it, i’m not getting an ipad. i mean, i don’t really need it. i just thought it’d be more practical than bringing my laptop to vegas. i might as well just take my macbook. i need something for entertainment. if not, i could just buy an extra memory card to ensure i have plenty of space for pics & vids.
not only do i have to be able to afford an apartment, but not all my furniture is mine for the taking. i have a bed (rails, headboard, footboard) but i have to buy a mattress & boxspring. i need to buy a sofa and coffee table/end table. those things are a bit more important than an ipad. i am expecting some money soon & plan on splitting that for the remaining expenses for vegas and the rest for those items i just mentioned. hopefully, financially, it’ll all work out.
the lesson of the day, kids, is spend your money wisely or you’ll have none to spend. i’ve never saved much money. my mantra has always been its my money and seeing how i don’t intend on having kids, it’s mine to spend however i want. not good logic. save money. budget things. use coupons. simple enough, right?!?!
