It used to be that a new Paul Smith bag or a new pair of Prada sneakers would get me all excited! It used to be that there was no problem at all shelling out the money to buy those things, season after season after season. So now I have a closet full of useless bags and useless shoes of previous season finds which look a bit impractical, considering the life changes that has happened these past few years. The truth is, raising children practically makes you a practical person. Out with Prada, in with practicality.
Raising children is not for the faint-hearted and for the poor. The truth is, it takes a lot of love – and a lot of money to raise children. Diapers and milk just don’t fall on your lap. You’d have to buy them weekly, and they aren’t cheap! If you want to have a life, a nanny would help big time – otherwise, you’ll end up looking like someone your husband won’t even dream about when he’s masturbating (yikes, if he’s masturbating, run to Belo, quick!!)
I guess it’s part of life’s cycle – now that I’m a little bit older and hopefully more mature, I could spend my money on more worthwhile things and instead of buying stuff to just show off, it’s going to more practical things like real estate investments and the kids college tuition fees. The ‘fix’ as I call it, is now more on practical things instead of superfluous ones.
