There is no such thing as too many books
Dec. 25th, 2022 12:48 pm...only too little money.
This month, I've bought about 60 books on smashwords' vinter sale, and I might still buy even more (there are some things sitting in my cart right now...). In total, I've already spent over 100 bucks on it (yes, my budget is crying). I have no regrets because most of them were at least at 50% sale, but still. I get the feeling I might have gone a little overboard.
This was not in my budget.
I am also obsessively trying to figure out how much money I'll get this Christmas. I celebrated with my mother yesterday and got a wad of cash enough for 5 books from my wishlist, but if I can get about 40 bucks today when I'm celebrating with my father, I can add another 3 books. I already know which ones I'm gonna buy, so crossing my fingers!
Since my budget is already dead (though thankfully not as disastrously as last month) I am doing myself the favor of not counting the books/things I'll buy with the Christmas gift money as my "own" expense. I'm not counting it on my budget because technically it's not my money? It's gifts, I'm just buying them for myself with other peoples money!
So yeah, I'm on the edge of my seat with anticipation here, lol.
