So I have come to the conclusion that being social involves spending a lot of money. If I make plans to see someone, it usually involves going out for food, drinks, a movie, shopping, etc. All of which require money. This is quite unfair. Granted, catching up can be done with little to no money spent if you just hang out together, wandering around or something. However, most of the time money will be spent. Also, in addition to whatever amount of money is spent while out, one must remember there is the cost of getting anywhere as well. In DC, that means metro or bus, which adds up at at least $1.25 (bus) or $1.35 (metro) each way. I am trying to be better about being social and getting out more (I have managed to see people every week, so yay me), but this money situation just sucks. I would see people more if I could, I just can't afford it, lol.
I am off to see some friends for a happy hour/sangria night tonight, so there goes some more money, sigh. I keep telling myself its worth it, and my wallet keeps saying it wants to stay in. What a conundrum.
Slurpee Count: 4 (and yes, I did have a 7.11 ounce slurpee on July 11th, or 7/11, but I am not counting that one as it was super itsy bitsy tiny)
PS: I bought my tickets home! Well, Dad gave me miles so I can come home. August 5h through the 22nd. It is kind of a long time, but I am excited. :-)
