Hello again LJ,
I've been spending a lot lately. The work from home and quarantine experience is proving to be a more expensive lifestyle compared to commuting to and from work. I thought at first I could save on expenses but it turns out to be quite the opposite. Take grocey shopping for example. In the olden days I shop for what I deemed would be fancy for the week or so, but nowadays I tend to buy in bulk for foods and essentials ever since the lockdown when it was quite hard to go out. Doesn't look any different from normal since I really buy in bulk to save cost and effort of going back to the supermarket, but lately I go way over budget. I can't really pinpoint as to where things went wrong, but the primary suspects would the additional quality meats that I add to the cart. Just because I stay at home, I won't be able to enjoy some fine dining can't I?
After receiving Wimpy, I've been browsing a lot of additional peripherals to boost its performance not just for gaming, but overall quality. It doesn't help that I have plans on becoming a live streamer or at the very least, content creator. I'm at footsteps already, but just not really getting there yet. Aside from the internet difficulties, I feel like I should throw in more gadgets to aid with the stream, like lights and mics and a better workstation. While I already bought a few already, it still feels like a long way to go and with it a lot more expenses awaits.
Next are the plastic models kits. Despite the numerous backlogs, I found myself ordering for more. While most of them are "kid friendly" kits (no-brainer builds, but still not that extremely playable) they're still a lot and almost as much as half of my pay. Or is it more than? Regardless, the fact is I still shelled out money for things I will put on pending to fully enjoy. The lack of actual workstation makes it hard for me to build those kits and while already I'm looking on those online, they're more than the kits combined in terms of price.
Combine them all together and we have photography. What better way to present those fine dining dishes, or completed scale models, than to take pictures of them. Since I would be needing some lights for the live stream, why not level it up to studio level for photography use as well? Trust me when I say these are too much expenses. And we have plans on getting a vehicle for mom's ease of transport. Despite plans for second-hand ones, they are still way- way beyond budget. Speaking of ease of transport, I'm eyeing a couple of motorbikes already and it's literally scary since I can definetly grab one right now and be damn poor tomorrow.
So what's the point of all these ranting? Oh no, I'm not. I just want to write all the expenses I've been through; going through; will go through- before deciding on my next impusle purchase. And like I was saying, there's this neat cardigan online that I want to get for her....
