Too Much Shopping
Wednesday, February 1st, 2012
You know you’re doing too much shopping when you empty out one of your bank accounts. I was staring at a couple of really awesome looking bicycle racks for trucks when I got a message alert on my smart phone. It was my text message service thing from my bank telling me that my account was completely empty. I had been on a pretty insane spending spree over the past three weeks and I guess I just didn’t realize how much I’d actually spent. When I went over my statement I realized that I had indeed spent every last dime that was on there, so I decided to tone it down a little bit.
My girlfriend and I had just got back from Vegas and I decided that it was probably a bad idea to buy that new bike rack. We had a great time and I totally wanted to do everything all over again, but this trip wasn’t even the lion’s share of the bill that I had run up. Prior to us heading out there I had just closed a huge account at work and gotten a massive bonus. I decided to celebrate by going absolutely crazy out at the malls, which was probably a mistake. I was going to have to return a lot of the stuff I got, but most of it I was planning on keeping.
