I have some plans coming up this week. They include dinner with a friend, drinks with another, providing barbecuable foods for the 3rd (on the fourth) and possibly going to the grown-up arcade on the fifth (of July).
All of these things, to varying degrees, none of them totally ignorable, cost money.
I seem to remember as a kid NOT having money and still having fun. When did that change? When did all entertainment begin to involve expense?
Seriously, what are other options? Hanging out with friends at home? You'll probably provide beverages, cook a meal, or, more likely, do both - costs money. Throw a party? Money. Go bowling? Money. Just drive around? Money.
Even the things I can remember as activities from when I was younger have now become expensive - things like sports (DAMN tennis isn't as cost-free as I hoped) and games (seriously, $20 for Jenga?) and just hanging out at the gas station like hoodlums (I feel compelled to purchase something now, so they know I mean well).
No wonder they call them sugar daddies - I need a parent to pay me some allowance, stat.
