That's it, tonight is pizza night... No energy for much else... couldn't get myself out of bed/couch let alone the house. Had a bit of a think through finances today, and it's been sobering to look at the budget I need to set so I can go down to 4 days a week while also reaching savings goals. But I think I can allow myself a pizza tonight, at least.
Family of four pizza night last week was $107....π³
So hard to wrap my head around. Meanwhile in Singapore, every coffee related drink is an average of $10. Even in SGD, that is $8, which is wild. But even Melbourne coffee is pushing up over $6. (I guess when it comes to commercial rent I can understand why.)
I sometimes wonder when Iβll one day just go, nope. I think itβs because Iβm not a big spender in other areas that I kind of justify the cost.
But pizzaβ¦ I love it, but rarely eat it anymore because even consistency is an issue. The fancy pants pizza is nice, but Iβm still always hungry.
Ouchhh. I just paid $25 for a large seafood pizza, which isn't that bad in today's world but isn't gonna be a weekly thing...
I paid $35 for a mexicana last night :( (wasn't me paying though but still)
