Pinching Where It Counts

The 10 Unexpected Costs of Owning Things by Christine Gilbert is one of those posts that I would never tire of reading.  It’s especially relevant now that gift-giving season is here and I’m always left wondering why I never have enough money to get my loved ones what they deserve.  Heck, I don’t even have enough to get myself a gift.  Plus with tax season coming up in a few months, I really wish I had more money sense tucked into me to make all the ends meet.  To me, death and taxes are synonymous or, at the very least, have a causal relationship.

On a non sour note, I seem to think of nothing but girls this week. Ha!  I was finally able to catch An Education after falling in love with the idea of it.  I’ve always enjoyed Nick Hornby‘s work so this should come as no surprise.  Besides, I am crushing on Carey Mulligan in the film. I would highly suggest watching this film and making your own opinion of it.  Although I am fairly certain it will be a positive one.
