So just when I feel I've made peace with the fact that Mr. Bo and I will never be rich, I come to a more accurate realization that, as enlightened as I may feel about material things, money really does make the world go round....especially in Bo world. Over the past few weeks Mr. Bo and I have had, I feel, one too many snow days. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the occasional unexpected day off as much as the next person, but all Mr. Bo and I seem to do on our days off is sleep too much and spend too much money. After 24 hours of being snowed in and contracting a nasty case of cabin fever, we usually decide to venture out into the snowy, slushy mess, only to return home with much lighter wallets. Over the past few weeks Mr. Bo and I have managed to purchase a popasan chair, a lamp, 3 throw rugs, and various other household decorative items along with 2 wii games, bike shoes, bike shorts, and waaay too many clothes and accessories, (ok the clothes and accessories was just me)....Not to mention indulging ourselves in dinners, drinks, and concerts. Luckily a majority of the money we have been spending came from our more than generous families in the form of Christmas gifts, but now that most of that money is gone, I'm left wondering how I am going to continue to support my retail relapse.....This all comes after an extremely long hiatus from ever buying anything "just for fun" unless it fit into our Dave Ramsey endorsed budget
The financial future for this wanna-be house wife is not looking so bright.
