I had a great dream.  I was in a store with an allowance of $1,000 a month and I got to buy whatever clothing I wanted regardless of price.

I haven’t bought any new clothing in three years.  I still wear things my mom got me in high school.  In fact, 98% of the clothing I own?  It’s stuff my mom bought me.

My husband’s closet is worse than mine, because he only ever shopped at Goodwill in college.  His nicest shirts are (guess what?) shirts my mom bought him.

If I had an extra thousand dollars a month, you know what I’d do?

Invest it.

>_>

Ummm… Yeah.

When I eventually get a book published, this is how it’s gonna go down:

1. 10% to tithes (probably split up between charity and church).
2. 15% set aside for taxes.
3. Pay off student loans.
4. Invest.
5. Clothes shopping to replace worn-out items for both me and husband.

I pray to God that we can get to #5.  I have 10 pairs of pants and none of them fit quite right.  It’s painful.
