Why is it that all the bargains and cool things come into my life when I am completely broke, and magically disappear when I have a little bit of money? My to-purchase list is quite large right now. It’s mostly stuff to make my office more functional as well as a more enjoyable place to sit in. I’m trying not to get consumer-lust since that means that I’ll make a bunch of random purchases of things I don’t really need. I’m not really interested in a case of buyer’s remorse right now. I’m also not interested in buying junk that isn’t quite what I want just because the price is right. I don’t want to settle – everything costs too much money for settling for almost perfect.

Being a grownup and working hard for your money really sucks sometimes.
