1. Pajamas, slippers and bathrobes. When I am rich I am going to own a different set of pajamas for every single night. I will never just sleep in whatever shirt I wore all day.
2. Starbucks. Every time I see an article about "How To Save Money" I read it, in case there are any ideas I haven't thought of. Usually the first thing is to not get a coffee each morning and they say how much that will save over a month or year. Since 2008 started, I've bought Starbucks once.
3. Buying stuff because it's on sale. I never understand that. If you're only buying it because it's on sale then why bother? Don't these people run out of room?
4. Texting. I used to have it on my phone. But people texted over my limit and it caused a lot of problems and it had to be canceled. You can pay a higher monthly rate to get unlimited texting but that costs more. When Danielle gets a phone we're going to get texting but not tell anybody so we can text each other and not go over.
4. Buying books. It's like nobody's heard of the library.
5. Eating out. I guess I look friendly or something because tourists stop me a lot to ask if I'm a NYer (only a lot of them say retarded things like a 'New York Citian') and then ask me to recommend a good restaurant. My diner has good food, but it's in a really bad neighborhood so I can't tell people to go there. Other than that, I don't eat out.
6. Flowers. Once a month either my mom or grandma would buy a bunch of flowers, and then give half to the other one and they'd both have flowers in the house for a week out of each month. I don't know what happened to my mom's vase. It was blue and pretty. When me and my sisters grow up we're going to share flowers like that.
7. Traveling. I've been to the Jersey shore and Long Island. That's it.
8. Manicures and pedicures. I don't understand this. If you keep your nail polish in the refrigerator it will last a long time, and if you don't shake it, it will go on smoothly (to mix the top oil with the color instead of shaking it roll it back and forth between your palms instead and then you won't get air bubbles). It seems like such a huge waste of money to pay someone else to do something I can do just fine at home.

Oh I so totally understand.
Re: the slippers - do you have Target out there? If so I found a pair of slippers for less than $3.00!! They're wonderful and fuzzy ;-)
I would love a manicure, or to eat out or to be able to go on more trips and books, oh how I would love to buy books. Instead I either borrow them, get them as presents, or I just spend a lot of time "hanging out" at bookstores.
Hang in there, that education you're saving up for will be able to buy you all of this and more, some day. :)
I keep my nail polish in the refrigerator too.
