Things that Don't Count

I have a very conflicted view of money.  

On the one hand, I want to be responsible and frugal.  I want to plan ahead and look at the big picture and be able to pay off student loans very quickly (hence this whole experiment).

On the other hand, I could be hit by a bus tomorrow!  And then wouldn't I feel stupid for never having bought a MacBook Air (this is the argument I used to convince myself to, in fact, buy a MacBook Air).

My point is that it's hard to find the right balance between enjoying the moment and planning for the future.  This blog is all about planning for the future.  But there are also going to be a few things that I'll choose to spend money on when it's time to enjoy the moment for a change.  And one of them is definitely THE PLANE TICKET TO NYC THAT I JUST BOUGHT.  HELL YEAH.

I have a grand total of one (count it: one) weekend between graduation and the start of bar exam classes.  This is my one chance to get away, and, incidentally, see a friend that I miss quite a lot.

The plane ticket definitely doesn't count.  :-D
