My sister and I each bought an inflatable kayak a few years ago. Especially during Covid lockdowns, it was amazing to have a cheap activity that was outdoors and socially distanced.How did you prefer to shop during the Covid-19 restrictions – online or local?
The convenience of online shopping is both a boon and a terrible temptation. If I need something like a USB cable or a pack of envelopes, I’ll often shop online, but for food I really enjoy browsing, finding deals and deciding what I want to eat based on what the sales are and what looks good in person.It’s entirely situational.
Money is, essentially, a store of choice. If you’ve got money in the bank, you’ve got more freedom - freedom to say no to bad opportunities, freedom to walk away from harmful relationshipsWhen I was a teenager, I lost a €50 note and was absolutely devastated. I found it later in the pocket of a pair of jeans – in about four pieces after it had gone through the wash.
From my perspective as a writer, there’s an absolutely toxic attitude out there that hardship in some way makes for better art. I think most starving artists would have made better art if they weren’t starving.I have $3, about £2 in assorted change, and five cent. I’d better pick up some cash before I next order delivery food – and also clean out my wallet.
