Budgeting Life

It doesn't matter how much you make, you can just as easily spend it; this statement is especially true living in NYC.  Lately, if there's been anything I wanted (food, event, clothing, or stuff in general) I just buy it without thinking twice.

I don't like this feeling.  I feel like I'm living in a perpetual state of consumption.  It doesn't matter what I consume, I'm just not satisfied and I'm immediately ready for the next thing.  For example, I'll have a bite of some rich Belgian chocolate and yet it won't taste half as good as the Reese's peanut butter cups I had in Ha'apai.

I'm learning that budgeting a checkbook is easy.  Budgeting life so you can still appreciate the small things, now that's difficult.

    Hmm...good thoughts Wil. It is discouraging how easy it is to be discontent with what is right in front of us and how much effort it takes to not always be looking for the next "thing."
