I'm wondering when the hell I became a financially sensible adult. I came into a small windfall of cash recently and the way I normally I operate, I'd receive the check on Monday and would have blown through 90-95% of it by Friday. I haven't even really touched it since I received it about two weeks ago; I've been toying with getting a new MacBook and will probably do so by the end of the month, and I'm also wondering about getting a new easy chair for the living room.
WHICH IS WHERE THIS FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY JAZZ STARTS!
A new easy chair. My. How comfortable. How sensible. Something practical that I really, really need around the house.
And what's this? My credit union is having a special registration period for a savings certificate that has slightly higher rates than their other certificate for a slightly shorter holding period than their other certificates? Goodness! I don't want to miss out on that deal! And I can easily meet the minimum deposit without going broke or having to skip my share of the rent this month! Sign me up! So I have.
I don't know who I am any longer.
Although a local writers' organization offer use of private studios and I'll be setting up a tour some time next week to see about a six-month lease/rental period. But that's still not insanely impractical to the point of being insanely impractical. It's something I've always wanted to do and it's currently in the budget. Maybe after I buy a side of beef and have it tattooed with the William Embarks segment of the Bayeux Tapestry, then have that section of beef dried into jerky.
