I was talking with someone today about the value of money. Namely, $40.
Now if you're flush, $40 isn't all that much cash. If you're dead broke, it could keep you in gas or prevent the phone from being shut off.
Anyway, she's says that she could use $40 to buy some pot (apparently 5-6 joints worth of the good stuff). I'm like: That's funny, I was thinking $40 equals two lap dances.
I guess it's all about your personal priorities and your mindset.
When I was a smoker, that meant almost 2 cartons of the bargain-basement smokes. It means about 10 meals (2 double cheeseburgers for a buck each and a drink) at McDonald's. It's also about enough money for me to fill up the truck and get a six-pack of beer, if I were so inclined.
So, loyal blog readers (all few of you), I put the question to you:
What is $40 to you?

gigi: dang ... one bra is $40?
kathi: are you telling me that you have a $160 a month chocolate habit? LOL
Some might call it a habit (men, maybe). I'd rather call it an indulgence. Yup, that's what I'll call it.
It's not even a tank of gas or a night at the bar for me. I like to buy everyone drinks until I'm so drunk that I run out of money. Then friends usually recipricate. Unfortunately, I don't need more alcohol by that time. But I drink it anyway because my mother taught me never to waste good alcohol.
Chrissie ~ I'd much rather indulge in chocolate than underwear. Underwear, now THAT'S a nasty habit!!
kathi: all I know is that's about how much I used to go through in cigarettes. So is that a ton of OK chocolate, or a bit of super-expensive, top quality choco-heaven?
chrissie: choccy grubber!! and yikes ... that's a lot of money for clothing that the vast majority of people will never see. Also why I don't spend any money on undergarments ;)
jenn: sounds like my kinda woman .... the kind who gets drunk on her own money ... do I still have to supply the roofie? ;)
kathi: what about chocolate underwear? LOL
chrissie: underwear sucks, sexy bras rock
will my hands do? ;)
dzer said, "do I still have to supply the roofie?"
I'm still recouperating from this weekend so could you please tell me what this means? :)
I really don't drink all that often (October is a drinking month for me).
I think that I'm starting to sound like an alcoholic.
$40 buys me a fat bag...
or a new attachment for my machine.
nice choices ... )
