Oooo, look! Your parents gave you some money to help you through the next week!
You plan to be totally grown-up and responsible this time, and not spend it on frivolous things.
The next morning, you make a Starbucks run and pick up a Grande Blonde-roast coffee. Nothing frivolous about a coffee, right?
While you’re waiting for a prescription at CVS, you casually stroll through the make-up aisle and spot the perfect shade of red lip-stain. You grab it and keep walking towards the nail polishes, and notice Essie’s new fall colors. They’re SO pretty. You’ll just pick one. Or three.
Your friend needs some new wedges and asks you to come shopping with her.
Your friend comes back with nothing, while you on the other hand, return triumphant with a pair of cute boots and a new sweater. The boots were half off – there was no way you could pass them up. As for the sweater… well… it’s a light blue sweater, and you don’t have a light blue sweater. So you bought a light blue sweater.

You’re not feeling the so-called “meat” in the cafeteria today, so instead you’ll get some Chipotle.
On Friday night, you drag your boyfriend to see Gone Girl, and insist on sharing a large popcorn and a pack of Twizzlers, even though they cost more than your ticket did.
The next day, your dad reminds you that you owe him $8 for your Netflix subscription. You go to transfer the fee and look at your balance, which is currently $26.13.
You tell your dad you’ll pay him double next month, and he asks you the question you really don’t want to be asked:
“Where did that money we gave you last week go?”
Except now, you do.
