Reduced to the state of a bum



The only way to learn about money is not to have any they say.
Well, our household has been a zero income one for almost a year now so I'm getting used to not having the spending power I once had.
Is this a good thing I hear you ask, trendsetters ?
Well yes an no - in many ways it's easy having no money as your decision making gets somewhat easier : shall I buy that latest Kaws piece of plastic ? err...No.
I am starting to miss buying new clothes - this was brought home to me when I had put buying some new underpants off for too long so decided I would have to splash out. Whereas beforehand I would have got some nice Comme/Prada/Bijorn Borg/Marlies Dekkers pairs, this time the destination wasLidl to pick up a two pack of 'Livergy' pants for the princely sum of €5.
What sort of name is Livergy ?? Sounds like a medical complaint - maybe not in Germany , but still you don't invest in jarquard branded waistband tape displaying such a crap name - leave it blank and charge me €4 for two pairs please.
I know they say 'designer' brands are a rip off but the quality of these pants are low and I know they aren't going to last like my more expensive pairs.

You get what you pay for...............
