'We Carries need to shape up and Miranda-fy ourselves before we end up begging our Charlottes for rent money.'
episode in which Miranda buys her first apartment the other day, though, I realised that I wasn’t a Miranda atat least not when it comes to personal finances. I really, really hate to say it, but I – to borrow a phrase – couldn’t help but wonder... am I a financial Carrie? Let’s review the evidence for a minute: Carrie seems to have a healthy income stream from her, yet she’s constantly broke from spending money on fancy shoes and dinners out.
I’m pleased to say that I’ve never asked a friend to pawn her engagement ring in order to help me afford my rent , but unfortunately, as I approach 30 and desperately try to sort out my own finances in order to someday afford the things I want – travel, a wedding, a house, kids, enough Tatcha moisturiser to last me the rest of my life – I can sort of understand where Carrie was coming from.
Unlike Carrie, I don’t spend the majority of my money on clothes and accessories; in fact, I’ve been keeping a log of all my fashion-y indulgences this year in an attempt to get a better sense of where my money is going, and a quick review of it shows that I’ve only made four or five silly discretionary purchases since January .
Well, I don’t do x or buy y, therefore I can’t possibly be as bad off as this other person, therefore I don’t need to change anything. In reality, though, I might be spending as big a percentage of my budget on edibles as Carrie does on Dior.
