I just realised that I never had a cake on my birthday so I never got to blow out candles and make a wish. Does this mean I have an usused birthday wish floating around the wish world?
This weekend I shall convince Maya to make a cake with me. Put some candles on it, sing happy birthday and watch me blow out the candles and wish away.
My theory is that as long as your starsign is still current your birthday wish time is still valid. After that the expiry has kicked in and well your wish is hollow and empty.
As you all know – or should know, I’m ace at money.
All things money; making it, saving it, lending it, managing it, & most of all spending it.
On that last point – not only am I good at spending it, I can usually justify anything.
This brings me to the point of my post…
Mayas’ How To: Justify your spending.
Clothing
I feel free to spend however much I want on clothes as long as it breaks down to $5 per wear.
Funny hats – that will no doubt get worn once – resulting in photo evidence & years of denial… clearly you won’t want to spend more than $5. If you do – pass it on to someone else so that you can enjoy the amusement from a different perspective.
Jeans you will wear over and over again – spend whatever you want to – just don’t get fat & have them not fit.
Everything else – It’s simple. $30 top – wear it 6 times. $100 item – wear it 20 times (sounds easier than it may be).
Shoes
If you’ve past puberty & are no taller than you were say 3 years ago, have the dollars, you love & care for shoes of any kind = spend up on anything classic, quirky (sans sequins), sensible, radical, whatever your flavour - your feet won’t grow anymore – SHOES ARE FOREVER.
DVDs
Wait for the sales unless you’re a movie buff. The collection looks fantastic but how many times are you really going to watch them?
Ok – if you’re B-Porn – there is no justification – you have a DVD addiction & possibly need therapy (or a second job to finance it).
If you’re me – be picky & choosey as B-Porn probably already owns them & you can just borrow them.
Novelty items
I honestly think the way to go here is to judge how happy whatever it is your buying makes you. Use a 1 to 10 scale.
The less it scores; the less you spend.
The higher it scores; the more you can spend – you’ll appreciate it longer.
Example – Dancing Santa (sings & wiggles) - $20 Entertainment provided – Priceless.
Gigs, Festivals & Entertainment.
Buy them all - So I’ve been told; we’re only young once. Live it up!
*~* ok - Love the lolcats - but seriously could they please learn to spell?!
Stopped in traffic this morning I noticed this sticker on the car in front of me.
“Real Men love God!”
Made me giggle.
The better of the 3 movies - yay for big budgets - it has singing, dancing, boy band styled moves, cheese, perfect hair & poses a-plenty - It literally got the toddlers grooving in the cinema.
And have you ever seen a better looking crew? Apart from ours clearly.
and most importantly - the thing that kept me in my chair…
Zac Efron is lush - young - but hot!
& Ashley Tisdale is one Dirrrrty Girl…
