Nobody knows the trouble I've seen...
Well, this is turning out to be much harder than anticipated. $10 a day has turned out to mean staying inside and not doing anything. Also worrying about food. Watching the chicken dwindle in the fridge, the Hangandaz disappear and spending a lot of time sober.
Meanwhile it's the day of our nation's Independence and I am legally bound to celebrate. I need to get out of the house and go see the fireworks or go to a bar. That means "Goodbye, money." I'm acting the cheapskate at the moment, which I'm planning on this moment lasting 6 months, but in real life I'm not that cheap. I tip well, I eat well, and I like to buy for my dates when I'm with one. But you can't treat your date on today's balance of $3.50. Unless she adores Raman.
Then next week I've got a wedding coming up in another town which means buying food elsewhere. I need a haircut which I typically pay $40 for, and I'd like to get someone to polish my shoes. So I guess the answers here are a) pack a lunch or eat cheap, b) go to Supercuts, and c) polish my own damn shoes.
Someone please sing the theme song of Good Times for me. Balance to come.
