When Shit Hits the Fan.
Now I fully understand why mom always told me to save my money. Even though she emphasized on saving 100% of what I have in hand, and perhaps that isn’t the best way to make a little girl understand that in a consumerist society, and I still don’t agree with that percentile, but I feel the hit now.
When shit hits the fan, you just wish you had that dollar bill to block it.
Life is funny.
You don’t understand the full value of money when you have it, it’s only when you chase it.

Closet Full of Cash.
I started running out of clothes hangers, and I find it harder each time to squeeze in a shirt in my closet. I started counting the number of tops and bottoms in my closet. I stopped after 80 for my tops. And that number doesn’t even include the shirts that I don’t wear, and the ones in the dryer that I’m washing. Most of my clothes still have their tags on them.
What the fuck for?
I stood there and looked at my wealth of clothing. Meaningless. Everytime I come home with shopping bags, I also come home with the bags of problems I had before to begin with. Shopping, ultimately, doesn’t make me happy. Spending doesn’t make me happy if it isn’t for the right cause.
I really need to revaluate myself and what I am doing with my money.

..only when you chase it.
hmm. sounds like me from not so long ago.
good luck!
my rule of thumbs when purchasing a new article of clothing: if it isn’t the the most fan-fcking-tastic thing in my closet, dont buy it. and i must say, this rule works extremely well.
I feel so ungirly sometimes, just reading your posts – lol
I could probably count the number of tops I own (and actually like to wear) with less than all my fingers.
I can relate to the closet full of clothes thing. Though I don’t think I have 80 tops. I don’t have enough closet space. I started running out of clothes hangers too. In fact I plan to get some more pants hangers in the next few days.
Right now I’m taking a decluttering class through the TDSB.
I’m hoping it’ll help me control my spending as well as cleaning up my apartment.
