i really need to stop complaining about being on a budget in casual conversation. i was just on the phone with a friend of mine and i just mentioned that for me, it's sometimes hard to keep up with my "couple" friends because when we go out, they have two incomes to my one and therefore, can technically afford to go out more than once a month or go to more expensive restaurants or buy more clothes. she immediately invited me over for a home-cooked dinner this sunday. with my other, single girlfriends, they just buy me dinner or pay for my movie and just make up an excuse to pay for whatever it is we're doing ("oh, it's a belated Christmas present" or "oh, i owe you for sending me that really funny joke that cheered me up the other day").
it's just lucky for me i'm so lazy that i don't actually go out all that often. it's looking like i'll be out thursday, friday, saturday and sunday this week (blech!) so i'll have to cut down on how much i spend each outing (although i loathe paying for a salad when i could spend three dollars more and get a burger!).
budgets suck.
