Hello, fine people of /r/personalfinance! I'm not sure if this fits here but I'm putting it here anyway. Lately, I have been doing smart things with my money when I get drunk. After 6 beers, I start beefing up my savings and paying off credit cards like a mad man. I just checked my bank account, had a mini heart attack that my tax refund disappeared, then remembered that I was intoxicated last night and may have behaved irresponsibly (or responsibly...I don't know) so I checked my credit card account to see that I put my full tax refund against my credit cards. Wise move, drunk me. Because I probably would have gone shopping otherwise.
It all started because I am a compulsive Amazon shopper and drinking fueled it. But I realized that I don't even use half of the shit that I have bought from Amazon. I use it once then forget about it. So I would start putting money into savings instead of buying junk. Was gonna spend $45 on a butterfly-knife-pen and a cooler insert for a 5-gallon bucket? Throw $45 into savings instead. And apparently it has spiraled out of control and now I'm responsibly wasting all of my disposable income.
Well I don't know if I really have a point to this story, just wanted to share. Maybe if there is a moral here, it's that when you're drunk and on Amazon, maybe consider putting that money into savings instead of buying some garbage that you'll use once then forget about.
