I do not need to get really baked. I do not need to buy books about Cycladic stuff. I do NOT need to get really baked, eat all the mezedes in the cabinet, AND buy books about Cycladic stuff.

@Leucrotta honestly? it sounds fun though.

(...*cough* says the wolf who just spent money on watch stuff oops)

@frost I'm between jobs and it is VERY IMPORTANT that I spend money on car insurance rather than more books about dead Greek people.

@Leucrotta fuuuck car insurance.

...also even though we also don't have a job, our whole situation of "getting out of our single room costs $5+ every time" kinda screws with the economics of stuff like this, huh.

@Leucrotta like, since you've got a car, and also more space at home than we do, you aren't /already/ bleeding $5 or so every day as it is. Which makes random impulse buys less painful, even though intellectually it "shouldn't".

@Leucrotta (well, I mean, you might be, but probably not on transit)

(also you have the aforementioned car insurance and stuff; oh and rent; our biggest recurring cost is our phone bill. It's mostly the transit that's hitting us.)

@frost the rent is ouchy since it jumps up something like $80 every year (so a $960 increase annually overall), and this place hasn't changed a damn bit. Car stuff gets weird; with car, you get car insurance plus gas money but you also can get places pretty easily, and when there's work, it's definitely worth the expense. I wish it weren't all so fucking crippling, and that I could actually manage to save up some.

@Leucrotta :blobcatheart: whoof...

and yeah having a motorcycle is gonna be SO freeing once we can get our paws on one (and the training, and the safety gear...).

(Still probably cheaper than a car I'll bet.)

@Leucrotta I wasn't even thinking about just cost to commute to work but the motorcycle will probably beat public transit there /handily/, 'specially since BART doesn't have any sort of monthly pass.
