Movin On Back To The East Side

So, you would think that moving into the same location for the second time would be easier than the first right? NO. I had some how accumulated almost double my wardrobe and shoe collection. I knew that living in the city would open my eyes to shop and update more frequently but then I just have to wonder, where did I get the money to buy all of these items!? and then.. I remembered... The glorious checks that came to me, with my name on it,and the hours I had worked over those long summer days and how I always felt it was necessary to treat myself. I also remembered the days like today where I would sit here looking at the heaping piles of merchandise thinking," that's the money for my lunch and dinner for the next week" and the ever so popular, "my mom was right." In any event I moved everything into my new room, with a gorgeous view of the upper east side when I again had a revelation that I had more than enough apparel but that I had no items for the kitchen. How am I to make ramen without a pot,or a fork!? You see, this is all just a hot mess of a situation I had gotten myself into but luckily for me I have 3 other roommates who brought all of the kitchen items. Moral of the story (or shall we say blog) is to spend money reasonably. There are MANY temptations here in New York, so when you are feeling like that black cardigan sweater will really be great cause then you can get rid of your older one. Think, "if I buy this right now, will I be able to eat next week?" If yes, get it! If no, save the money and budget shopping into your next paycheck. Enjoy!
