cake: where do you spend, where do you save?
The other day while I was at work, a girl came in for a tan and asked how long it would take to walk to her next destination from where we were. I told her it would take about 20 minutes and asked why she didn’t consider taking the streetcar. As she entered her pin to the $20 tanning transaction, she said “I’m trying to save money so I’d prefer to walk”.
HUH?
Tan: $20
TTC: $2.75
Taking the streetcar instead of walking 20 minutes in -35 degree weather: WORTH EVERY PENNY!!
It’s funny how we all spend our money. I’ll splurge on the silliest things and then complain about spending $20 on a spinning class that’s an investment to my health.
What do you insist on buying and what do you refuse to spend your money on?

I think that girl is my best friend. I will walk in -35 weather before I’ll hail a cab. Only if my fingers are falling off will I flag one down. But I invest hardcore into fitness and health and the occasional spray tan

I agree sometimes my money tends to go on what I want that week and forgets what I actually need for that week (obvi. excluding the bare necessities!)
