    haha, must agree.

    Getting married this summer and our absolute dream honeymoon is already planned.

    Meanwhile, we also planned a weekend getaway for Memorial Day.

    So, I'd pretty much decided I wasn't going to get to a show, but impulsive me changed my mind and we're headed to Washington for one show, then driving back to Indiana.... oh well, it's only money.

    My friend was going to see Eddie last night. Since he was in Vegas, I gave him 5 Grand to gamble with. I told him I wanted it all to go on Black. Bastard! PhillyCrownOfThorns-11-2-12

    5 shows, airfare, hotels, trains, cars... I must be insane to be spending all this money. But isn't that what money's for?

    I feel ya, I am also joining the institution this summer and closing on a house in a couple of weeks... I'm pretty much at the bottom of the well, but not so much that I can't make it to D.C. and Mansfield. Good luck w/ all the wedding planning....

    I'm not sure about poor , but definitely poorer monetarily.

    HOWEVER, equally as important to me are the experiences , travels, and especially great friends and acquaintances ( 10Cers and others) I've met. In this sense, I'm a millionaire for sure.
