The best things in life are free/ But you can keep them for the birds and bees/ Now give me money/ That's what I want...

You know what capitalism is? Getting f*&%ed- Scarface

       One thing I wanted to do is indulge myself in the material world. As I mentioned before I'm pretty cheap so I decided to try to break that trend and buy myself a few things. I found myself being really conscious about the money I was spending, constantly telling myself, *"have you no shame?" because I really wasn't used to spending money on the small things like shoes and the like, and here I was standing at the register not being able to decide if I should cry or be happy because I was going to buy shoes that I've been eyeing for a while now. In the end, I felt way better than I thought I was going to. 

       I really didn't have much money going in, but I spent it all and bought myself some pretty neat things like the shoes, or at least I thought they were. My brothers were giving me their two cents about them but I just brushed it off and labeled it as them being jealous so as to not kill my happiness. I spent my summer savings in about an hour which probably would've made me sad but I think because I had the mindset of doing it to make myself happy it didn't faze me. 

Afterward, I was in such a good mood that I bought everyone some coffee, something reserved for those who have a job, so when I pulled out my wallet and handed the lady my card everyone looked quite surprised, I felt good. Of course after realizing the rare opportunity before them everyone they decided to further drain me of my money and added on a dozen donuts to our order. In the end though I think spending the money I had was a good thing, because it truly did make me feel happy, I should probably wait until I'm rolling in the big bucks to really go out and get the things I want, but I also hope to not get to entranced in this sort of luxury because it really isn't that great of a thing to get tied up with material objects.
