Money and Papaya
January 26, 2007
As I write this, I’m sitting in my class entitled “The Holocaust” and thinking about how much my professor reminds me of the one from Legally Blonde. I think I like mine more, although she may be even more ruthless.
I’m still trying to get comfortable with the whole “I’m in control of my life” thing. I work a lot, and I make money a lot, and the second I get it, I’m wondering (a lot) what wonderful things I can spend it on. About an hour ago, another one of my professors was talking about how he loves papaya, but it’s usually around $4.50, and that’s too much money, so he doesn’t usually buy it.
Too much money? You’re a professor, you don’t have five bucks? I spend more than that on Wendy’s.
I really wish I didn’t think this way. And very lucky that I have a boyfriend who is more conscious of money than I am.
And the class has left. Crap, did we learn something?

I was like that in high school, but now I’m much more like your professor. I will still buy things, but I have a price limit depending on what it is.
You might try thinking about all the wonderful things you can spend 1/4th of your paycheck on. (Or your tips… you work in a restaurant, right?)

Piggybanks are a GREAT way to save money. Plus they’re adorable to boot! :D
