I have been trying to avoid yard sales and thrift stores. Well, really any opportunity to spend money is avoided. As you have seen I have a LOT of crap in my house (though most of it is scott's). I also have everything in used form. My couch, the table, chairs, coffee table, appliances...everything. and not used like this is a cool antique. Just busted old shit. I think the bed is the only furniture item we bought new (and our asshole dog miyagi spent 6 months pissing on the side of it). Well, I wish i could go get brand new stuff. Everything from Crate and Barrel or CB2. All of it. But i can't. See, a long long time ago credit cards were handed out like candy. And i got some. and for the most part i was responsible, but i 20 dollared myself to death. And i went to Target- a LOT. So now i must suffer. 20,000 total in credit card debt sucks my soul dry. So i have to avoid buying things. Any things. I get no things. None.
Today, there was a huge ass yard/estate sale full of mid-century modern crap. I say crap because i can't have it and yes, some was crap. I saw lots of cool stuff but luckily it was priced like she knew exactly what she had. But overall I found that going to the thrift store and yard sales makes me spend money on stuff i really don;t neeed. I see tons of cool stuff but I can live without it. Sure i could scoop up some of the awesome finds and sell them but really, who wants to waste their time for 5 extra bucks? not me.
