One thing you must realize when you grow older is that everything costs more. I don't know why as you get old you begin to demand more for your money. I feel as if im starting to understand the statement "in my day milk only cost fifteen cents". When i first bought my suv it was only ninety seven cents for a gallon today i paid 4.05.
i feel as if i'm being overcharged for everything. Take for instance last night at a mba party that i attended. My friends and I paid $25 per person for drinks and dinner. What we got was endless piles of bread, tomato, crappy pizza, cheap pasta and some calamari. I also forgot to mention that we got cheap wine and beer. i stuck to the wine because i don't do beer. I'm still trying to understand how that was worth $25 bucks. I didn't eat $25 dollars worth of food or drink $25 dollars worth of booze. i did make a valiant effort but to no avail but i couldn't do it. Maybe if there was show or something i could have felt better about the money. unfortunately there was no entertainment to be had.
Today to make matters worse i spent 18 bucks on a crappy sandwich, a soup, a salad and a old chocolate pastry. I don't think those items were worth the price that i paid. i think i'm going to institute another policy with my current policy of not eating burgers and restaurants that don't have drive-thru's. my new policy is that i'm only going to eat appetizers at restaurants. i refuse to ever order an entree again. hopefully this will allow me to save more money, save inches on my wasteline and save me some angst.
who's with me?
