On Wednesday a higher-end grocery store down the road a bit gives their senior citizens a 7% discount on food and so I always feel as if I should get my tushie down there and buy, buy, buy. I am trying to limit my expenditures on unnecessary stuff so I'm trying the "write a grocery list" method for limiting myself to only things I need. Why does this feel like I'm denying myself? Do I really need to feel "impoverished" for doing this?
I am having a little nervousness about my budget and I really want some expensive stuff. My espresso machine is costing me nearly $200 to fix a small problem, and get a "tune up" and good cleaning. Alternatively, I could spend somewhere between 400-900 dollars to get a new one. Option 1 seems wisest, however, it does occur to me... do I need an espresso machine? It is the one truly faithful joy I have every day! It is! Everything else is a sometimes yes, sometimes no... thing.
I want to spend happily on the Whale Watching trip. I want to save up for the Hawaiian vacation in November. I want to save for a trip back to France to visit Ann. I want, I want, I want
I think I'd better check and see how the lottery tickets are doing.
