Your Imperfect Example for Budgeting Wisely-ish


Solo spending had another quiet week, but some of that is a renewed sense of frugality entering the New Year, and some is just the post-holiday “I already have too much stuff” vibes that hit.
Not a lot to comment on; I did get to have a healthy and fun adventure in NYC with my friend who came down for the day, and it was such a blast, as always. Then I gifted myself a cute Mansur Gavriel bag and wallet while they were marked down, and I’m really glad I did – both seem cute, classic and practical.
Cheers to the New Year, friends! Watch this space for more misadventures in spending.
