The fact I am still waiting on three packages to come in is crazy. I need them to come in so I can intrusively buy something small and stupid again without feeling guilty. Don’t be fooled, I am far from having money like that. I work as a server at a diner in South Philly so being rich is far from what I consider myself. I am a broke college student just like everyone else who only works one day a week during the school year. In the summer or on break it is different, since I work at least five days a week. Also, trust me my parents haven’t straight up given me any money since I was in middle school. The moment I got my first job, anything I wanted or required money had to come out of my own pockets. It isn’t even like I am blowing hundreds of dollars a week on stupid stuff either. It’s more like smaller things that cost $10 and might have a $7 shipping fee. A perfect example is how I order supplements that I take because I am almost out. Yes, those are something I need but can be expensive. Then that same day I might be scrolling and see an ad for ScentBird. Next thing you know I am subscribed to get a new bottle of cologne once a month for $20 a month.
Yes, I might try and go for whatever new cool pair of shoes are dropping every week but it is ok because the chances of me being selected to get them are small. Now if I do get selected somehow then it looks like I got another pair of shoes. In some cases, I might sell the shoe to try and make some money off of it. My friends have told me I might have a bad spending habit. I would beg the differ. I wouldn’t say I have a bad spending habit because there have been times I’ve kept to myself but buying something for no reason. People say I have too many clothes and pairs of shoes but in my defense, it’s not my fault. It just so happens I love fashion and it is expensive and you can’t blame me for my hobby is expensive. It’s just how the world is and I am just a person living in it. This poster that just came in the other day is sick though. I ordered at like two in the morning while scrolling on Tik Tok and from the moment I saw it I knew it was perfect for my dorm. The best part is that it wasn’t expensive either so that was a big reason I bought it.
I can admit there have been purchases I have made that I do regret but it always works out for the best. The perfect example of this is some hoodies and shirts I buy and they simply don’t fit me the way I intended them to. So the simple solution to this is either sell them or give them to one of my friends. One of my closest friends Natalie has 5 shirts and a jacket that were once mine. Nothing I ever buy will go to waste because I know if I don’t like it someone else will. At the end of the day, I would not say I have a terrible spending habit. Natalie on the other hand disagrees and to hear what we both have further say about this go listen to the latest episode of my podcast. Link down below!!!!!!
