Stricken Sounds

I work all year long, spending only the money I need to survive. The reason for that is because all year long all I can afford are the things I need to survive, especially in this economy today. There’s always one thing I look forward to when the holidays are over, besides being able to rest from all the hecticness of all the trick or treaters and present wrapping and that is getting my income tax returns. If  there is one thing I’m ever excited about, it’s to actually be able to go out and treat myself to all the necessities I’ve deprived myself of over year that just passed. I’m lucky that the money I do get back from income tax returns I don’t have to put towards other bills, I’m very good with managing my finances. When I do get my tax returns back theres one place I always go that has done more for my emotional instability than anything and that is the Mall of Louisiana! As dorky as it sounds, yes, shopping clears my head and gives me the motivation to keep working hard at what I do so I can do the same thing next year. This is literally the best week of my life. Next year I will be getting more back from tax returns so I’m going to have to say goodbye to what has been my sanctuary for the last 5 years and move on to another place and a new life. I’m moving to Florida and I can’t wait to see what malls the Sunshine State has in store for me.
