Quotation of the Week 07/09/08: Paul McCartney

“Buy, buy, says the sign in the shop window; Why, why, says the junk in the yard.”
-Paul McCartney

I usually like to spend a night's sleep before I buy anything over $100. I hate buying things and not using them. It drives me bonkers (I keep me bonkers in me sock drawer--kidding! I don't even have a sock drawer!).

One thing I like to do with clothing before I buy it is this: I think of how many times I'm likely to wear it compared to the cost. For example, if a jacket costs $40 and I only wear it once, then I basically paid $40 to wear it once. If I wear it twice, then I paid $20 for each time I wore it. I'm pretty sure that I have a t-shirt that I basically paid $0.0001 per use. Good old Creation Celebration. This principle works with everything that you can buy.
