so, this guy i'm with! you all know who i'm talking about. yeah, yeah, i love him to death and all, but he's such a goofball about money. he makes a pretty good pile of it, but he's always fretting about spending it.
and i'm over here like, "so then don't?"
it's like the worst of both worlds. he worries about big ticket items that he wants or needs. so he doesn't get/do them. but then he keeps worrying! which means now he doesn't have the thing, but he's also still worrying about not being able to afford the thing. except if he really couldn't afford it, then he wouldn't be thinking about it at all unless it was in a "man, wouldn't it be cool if..." kind of way. so most everything he worries about paying for, he probably could pay for.
drives me kind of bonkers sometimes, and i have to tell myself, "claire, you have never earned or spend a single dime yourself in your whole life. maybe don't be so judgy, you know?"
and then i tell myself, "also, maybe thank your stars you don't have to worry about that stuff."
and then i write a blog post like this one and i end up thinking ...
"dude, for somebody who says she doesn't worry about this stuff, i sure did write a lot of words right there about worrying about this stuff."
