So yesterday I went out to the mall and bought myself a new jacket. I needed one for winter, because I don't have a good one, and because I didn't get one for Christmas, I went out and bought one myself. I've never spent so much money on a single piece of clothing...it was freaky! I'm so frugal with my money, so spending what I did on it really hurt. But I knew it was a good investment. I'm happy with it! Woot! A new jacket!
But as I flipped through the channels today on television, my mind quickly changed. Spending $60 on my coat seemed like NOTHING compared to the celebrities they were talking about. Those like Usher, Ashley Simpson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and all those other loaded people who spend millions and millions of dollars on crap!! 1.2 million dollars on earrings, or $5000 a week on flower arrangements for their house, or $100,000 a week on clothes. Woah. Man alive. That's nuts!
What about all those people in 3rd world countries?!?! BAH!
If only I was rich...
