Dollar Bills and Dopamine.

...sounds like a good name for a song.

My family's on holiday at the moment, so I'm home alone for the weekend. I'm actually enjoying it.

I was going to go out, but I can't afford it 😭.

I've got... let me see... $16.72 with four days to go until I get paid. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of food in the house, it's fine, but in terms of spending money I don't have much.

Then I realised, a lot of the things I do for happiness kind of involve money. I love going out for coffee, but that costs a fair bit of money. Buying new stationary, for example, is a little bit expensive. Going out to the office to work is fun, but that also means that you have to eat out, unless you want to bring your own food, which isn't super practical. That can get REALLY expensive.

I work a lot, and I'm going to get SOME SORT of overtime this week, but getting paid fornightly is annoying.

I'm OK, but I just thought it was an interesting observation.
