D: I don't wanna hurt you/ A: So why are you?

For some odd reason, reading this article made me anxious. I can't really explain why, exactly. I don't have any credit card debt (or any debt, actually; I paid off my one student loan ages ago). I have about 10 months of living expenses in savings and two retirement accounts (baby ones, but hey, they exist!). So, on the surface I'm not in a similar situation and I don't have a similar "spend it when you have it" mindset.

Nonetheless, "Most of my money is spent on snacks and treats and delicious groceries for meals for my friends. I buy presents and experiences, stuff that makes life fun and exciting and glamorous and livable, $4 iced teas and in-season farmer’s market produce." Yes. That's me. I mean, I have an insanely expensive hobby and I sometimes Uber home from it and then treat myself to a bonus spin class.

How is this relevant to the list project? Well, I read the article rather than going to the library to pick up the books that I have on hold. Yeah, that's all I've got.
