With Christmas and New Years behind us all that is left are empty pockets and love handles popping out of our skinny jeans. With little to know money left in the vault there are many cut backs that need to be made, which is why I have created the 10 broke commandments.
1. Your morning coffee, say goodbye to your love country style, Tim Horton’s and for the most part your affair with Star Bucks.
2. If you are a smoker as I am say goodbye to Mr. Belmont and Mrs. De Maurer. That Nicorette gum you once bought telling yourself you were going to quit well it’s time to get chewing.
3. Forget a social life including bar hopping, clubbing or anything to do with socializing in a business.
4. As for grocery shopping put that steak back where you found it, because Mr. Noodles is all you’ll be eating oh, and stay away from grocery stores such as whole foods which tends to be whole pay check.
5. Walk everywhere if you can, no more subway pass or subway tokens for that matter looks like you’re going to get some toned legs from your long walks in the snow.
6. For the ladies out there forget your high end skin care regime start heading to every Shoppers Drug Mart in the city and stalk up on samples.
7. Avoid malls or any type of clothing store because all you’ll be doing is staring through the window.
8. No more long chats with your BF or BFF on your cell phone throughout the day whatever major drama has happened will have to wait until after 6pm.
9. If you don’t have the luxury of living with utilities all included such as Hydro get out the candles or you’re going to be living in a world of darkness.
10. Laundry, ok please still wash your clothes you are never to broke to smell fresh
So pretty much get ready to be go through a caffeine withdrawal along with crazy nicotine fits falling into a depression because your social life is destroyed as you’ll be locked in your home eating nothing but sodium filled Mr. Noodles, burning it off by walking everywhere, having dull dry skin by using cheap samples, old ratty clothes, not catching up with the latest gossip and living in the dark. Well at least you’ll smell fresh! Can anyone say broke?
