Spending Feels Like Freedom to Me

I have a lot of money in my bank account. Don’t worry, I’m sure I’ll soon turn it into a negative balance. That is my number one talent.

My online course had a good month (1,450!) and then I got the final payment from my book, 1/4th of the total of what I got to write 75,000 words. $1,300 has never looked like so little money.

But there it sits, $3,000. Sweet freedom. To go to the cafe, to get sushi, to meet a friend out for a drink. In the land of four digits, I prance around time, feeling my sweet freedom to just spend some money. An Amazon order with new tupperware bins.

Thinking about those new Converse. And, oh yeah, Christmas. Double Christmas for some family members I never bought birthday presents for this year, because I was too broke when it all rolled around.

I love to spend all this money. It feels so fun, it feels so free, to just get whatever I want. The key, I think, will be to be able to put the brakes on when I have money in my account, and not just when I have to.
