Bring on the consequences

June 19th, 2009 at 11:27 pm

I'm going to spend money tonight. I am going to waste money tonight. I am going to regret it all tomorrow.

I have had an unusually tight rein on my spending this month so far, I have spent far far less than I normally do by mid month. Last night I nearly worked myself into tears because I was SOOOO sick of spaghetti but that's all that was in my pantry. (It's cheap and I work under the code of: If I don't buy it I wont want it.)

So to relieve some of my pent up money saving stress, and to make myself feel like I have a life- I invited a few girlfriends to go out dancing with me tonight. I could do it frugally but I am tired of calculating and doing without. I have money in the budget for this but I haven't been spending it. Last night I saw the consequences of saving even my spending money.

Tonight I dance. Tonight I drink. Tonight I buy a round for my friends because I want to enjoy my life more than my fat bank account.

And tomorrow I will be hit with a major emergency and really regret blowing the money tonight. That's the way the money gods work. Their vindictive like that.

Bring it on money gods. Bring it.

    Haha... :-)

    I think is as unhealthy to be ALWAYS saving as it is to be ALWAYS saving...

    You have money in your budget for this and you've had a very good month so far...

    Please have a fantastic nite tonite...

    Please please don't feel guilty in the morning... Try to look on the month as a whole and not get obsessed by one night's spending..

    Take your walk on the wildside and who knows, perhaps the gods will let you slide this time.

    First lesson I had to learn, too much deprivation results in lots of spending, lol. Enjoy your night out.

    enjoy your night out. Its important to keep doing those little things once in a while. Df and i are passing up festivals this year, but i am sure when we allow ourselves one next year we will definately make the most of it. Smile in all possible ways

    When we had a place that had a band in this area, dh and I went dancing every Saturday night! I enjoyed it so much and would love to do it again. (We were allowed to brown bag, so it was not that expensive) (We are in a "dry" county.)

    Life is too short not to dance!

    Hahaha, hilarious!

    For some reason, this entry reminds me of the song, "I Hope You Dance" by Lee Ann Womack.
