Good morning!!
Have you ever tousled in any respect together with your cash currently?!
I’ve – 3 occasions already this week and it’s not even over! ?
Right here’s what I’ve executed that’s value me $50 to date and earned me the Monetary Dummy of The Week Award… sigh…
******
1) I misplaced $16 in money on the espresso store. I had been needing extra unfastened money in my pockets resulting from my obligatory Yes Rule, so I broke a $20 to get my espresso Monday as an alternative of utilizing plastic, after which made the silly mistake of protecting it in my palms whereas awaiting my espresso… Why I didn’t put it safely in my pockets I couldn’t let you know (I suppose I used to be distracted?) however shortly thereafter realized it was now not in my palms and now misplaced to the world ? My solely hope is that I by accident left it on the counter and the baristas took it as a tip so at the very least somebody had a terrific day! Haha…
2) I paid $12.64 for an empty field I may have gotten free of charge (!!) I needed to make a return to Amazon that initially got here in two packing containers, however after I went to the UPS retailer they mentioned it needed to all match into *one* since I solely had one return label. All I needed to do was drive the 5 minutes again to my home and scoop up one of many MILLIONS of packing containers hoarded in my basement for occasions EXACTLY LIKE THIS ONE, however as an alternative I selected the ridiculous choice to only purchase a field there and save quarter-hour as an alternative… Though I used to be in no rush in any respect. Pure laziness!!
3) I paid $19.31 in overdue invoice charges! The primary time in 10+ years!! I used to be updating the ol’ net worth Sunday (a way more enjoyable month to do it btw in comparison with latest months! ;)) when it occurred to me that I haven’t seen certainly one of my most annoying payments to pay every month – our water/sewage invoice. (Annoying as a result of I at all times must sort out the dang routing and account quantity each time I pay it because it doesn’t allow you to save something!)
The invoice sometimes exhibits up in my e-mail across the center of every month, however after I searched my inbox the final one I noticed was from April! APRIL!!! I used to be THREE months late and doubtless on the verge of being shut off ???. Evidently I paid off the whole thing of the stability instantly (all $280!), after which promptly created calendar gadgets to pop up as soon as a month to remind me to pay it in case the emails proceed to fail…
I 100% wish to blame the utility firm for this because it’s their system that stopped figuring out of nowhere (it’s been emailing me each single month with out fail for years!) however in the end after all it’s my very own accountability for not staying on high of it. A wonderful reminder which you can’t at all times depend on automation and have to manually examine in on issues once in a while!
So complete misplaced, with nothing in return apart from blogger embarrassment: $47.95
I additionally lately picked up a couple of items of jewellery on a whim that I regretted hours later, however since I always have a back up plan for stuff I buy, it’s extra like early reward purchasing for buddies ?
- Temper ring ($10)
- Purple bracelet ($6)
- Classic trying purple stone ring ($15)
- Onyx trying ring ($3)
TOTAL LOST GIFTS PRE-PAID: $34.00
(For some motive I’ve been on a jewellery kick alllll summer time lengthy! Someday I simply determined I miss sporting rings, after which subsequent factor I do know I’m scooping them up left and right at classic shops and most occasions discovering nice ones (and most significantly, sporting them! I at present have 5 on my palms proper now typing this – feels nice!))
Listed below are a few of my favorites I’ve picked up to date:
(Considered one of these 4 is precise classic and the others fake… Are you able to guess which is genuine?)
So yeah, even your favourite cash blogger will get issues flawed generally ?
On the plus facet, it doesn’t completely destroy your day once you’ve been good 99.9% of the remainder of the time and might spare some goofs, however nonetheless doesn’t really feel that nice both… The truth is, generally it feels even worse than market crashes for some motive! Lol… Isn’t that bizarre?
I “misplaced” $100,000 of internet price final month, however it didn’t ache me almost as a lot as dropping this $50 this week! I suppose possibly since the reason for it was *me* and/or I used to be dropping literal *money cash* vs monetary pixels on a display screen?, however both approach fairly silly how our brains work, haha…
At any fee, $hit occurs! We’re people and excellent at making errors!
And likewise as a result of we’re human we take pleasure in listening to different peoples’ errors too, so in the event you’ve made any lately as effectively do share to make ourselves really feel higher! Are you able to beat my $12 field transfer and steal the Monetary Dummy of The Week award from me?! ?
Let’s goooooooooooo!
