who do i think i am?

so i went ahead and bought a botkier bag yesterday. now, since a good many of you don't know me, let me explain.

i have absolutely no business buying a $650 bag.

total, i spent almost $4000 yesterday. ONE day. is that even legal? i mean, bills, loans, christmas -- most of it was logical, but some of it (like the aforementioned [adorable] bag) was not. i'm trying to compare myself to someone right now. who spends $4k/day? to actual celebs, it's nothing. so i'm not in that league at all. maybe more in the young investment banker range? does that seem logical?

let's go with it. a 25 year old investment banker might very well spend a few grand every day, just because. well, i probably make about a quarter (and that's being VERY kind to myself) of what an ibanker usually makes. so how long before i'm broke, kids?

if A+B=C i think it means -- today. i'm currently ridiculously bankrupt and have no idea what to do about it. or really any kind of desire to change my spending habits at all, honestly.

as such, consider this post a call for help -- a desperate plea to all of you out there -- i NEED a life coach. someone to literally hit me w/ a stun gun, to "tase me, bro!" every time i whip out the plastic. positive reinforcement hasn't worked for 23 years, so it's time to turn to the bottle, er, negative.

bring on the applications!
