I recently met with my new financial accountability person for the first time. As we were going over my budget together I informed her that I would be needing to set aside money each month to buy new books.
"Why?" she said.
"Because I buy a lot of books and I want to be prepared."
Then she said, "Well, do you have enough books to last you the next month?"
To which I had to be completely honest..."I do believe I have enough books to last me the next year."
Hi. My name is Sara and I am addicted to buying books.
So this wise woman gave me some advice: "You should make a list of things to do that don't cost any money, but give you the same exhilarating feeling buying books brings."
So I did:
1. Meeting a friend at a comfortable place for some good conversation.
2. Turning off all of the lights, lighting all of my candles, and listening to some favorite LP's.
3. Taking Bailey to the park.
4. Taking a warm bath while sipping sparkling white grape juice from a wine glass. (It makes me feel fancy.)5. Spending quality time with Eli, Chloe, and Eva.
Any ideas?
