Planning to build a deck in our backyard this upcoming weekend - should be fun!

Being back home is expensive as fk, Just spent 100$ at the doctor's, then 100$ for a new goddamn charger, then 100$ at Costco. And the day's not over yet.

My entrepreneurial dreams are being a little bit squashed by adult responsibility. And motherfukers at UO still owe me 6k and stopped responding to emails... what should I do!?

The only good thing right now is the 20$ unibroue variety pack of 24 beers I got at Costco. You beer lovers jealous yet?

The cost of life in somewhere expensive like a lot of urban areas in the United States can be absolutely startling. Especially when you think of cost in terms of hours-of-work-at-my-wage units. Wow. This Apple laptop charger cost me 5 and a half hours of post-tax income.

This reminds me of a joke. A comic relates having gone to a professional baseball game and finding out,

    Beers cost $10 a can at the stadium. Ten bucks! I thought to myself, "I would never pay ten bucks for a drink."

    The next day I'm at my 8 year old niece's dance recital. And I thought, "I would pay a hundred dollars for a drink."

$100 at the doctor? Those are US prices... What happened to Canada while you were gone?

Because it wasn't for medical services, my GP charges to fill out forms. It was 65$ for a driver license form and 25$ for another :(
