PSA: Blogging is Bad for my Bank Account

PSA:

Having a blog can be very harmful to your bank account.



Some side effects include but are not limited to:

Addiction to stationary, planners and all things office/school supply related

Need for the 2nd Pumpkin Spice Latte of the day

Want of a Keurig

Inability to focus due to scouring the new Jcrew look book

Need to buy a new winter coat, even though the high today is 95

Shoe envy not to be confused with handbag envy

Obsession with various online boutiques such as Bridier Baubles, Design Darling and Ashley Brooke Designs …don’t forget etsy shops

If you or anyone you know is experiencing these side effects…well….

You are probably a blogger. Please check your band account at once!

  2. If you could see my face it would look extremely guilty. I’m so ashamed*

    *ashamed. adj. a. feeling shame, guilt, or discrace. b. the feeling you say you have for overspending on etsy when you actually feel elated and ALIVE by your overzealous purchase

  15. HAHA. I love this. It’s so true. It’s like a shopping cult. A giant addicting shopping cult. Now, if only Bloggers could figure out a way to plant a money tree, I’d be golden!

    I, for one, do definitely not go broke lusting over the latest goods in Jcrew.

    I don’t know what a keurig is (sexual device?) and stationary makes me want to puke.

      A Keurig is a coffee machine.

      Getting back to the original post… I don’t buy too much stuff, except the EC Life Planner and some wash tape, so I think I’m ok.

  20. I’m lucky enough to always be dead broke so even though I want for those things – I can’t buy them. LOL. Just check – account still empty.
