Nine Dollars

It's the 16th of February and I have $9 left in my pocket. I blame Valentine's Day for the rapid spending. Trying to budget myself makes everything seem so damn expensive. But it does help put things in perspective for me, I'm starting to see where all the little expenditures are adding up. Like the Egg tarts I bought yesterday for $1.50 each and the Chestnut cream tart for $3.75 and the Red Bean bun. It wasn't my lunch but I wanted them, and I ate all three in half an hour just to feel horribly guilty about the calories I consumed. I could've saved myself 10 bucks and 1000 Calories if I just didn't step into the bakery shop.
