The burn rate

Money is burning fast this last few months.

I think its okay, I was in recovery and I was burning money to help enjoy life. It was well deserved given I was a cheap bastard for a while.

Like tonight I bought a round of shots for everyone at happy hour. Only cost $35 (7*$5) this time, but still thats how you burn the $$$$ !! Also throwing a holiday party, that is probably going to cost me $$$$ as well.

My guilty pleasure of the month? A pair of shoes. Do you know what Cordovan leather is? Its apparently the toughest leather around and is from the ass-cheeks of horses. Supposedly its the best. Alden from New England makes them into classic dress shoes for a whopping $480. Yep, thats my extravagant purchase of the year.

My justification on shoes is that paying to redo the soles is a better deal long term.

Oh well, the way I see it.. you only live once. As long as you are somewhat within budget then screw it. I'm not sure if I'm in budget, but I'm not bleeding yet.
