Some things money can't buy...

Buying a bus ticket from
Baltimore to New York:                                          $17.00


Refilling your metro card so that you can
ride the subway all over Manhattan:                        $30.00


Eating lunch at whatever local deli/pizza
place happens to be close by:                               $15.00


Grabbing an umbrella from the nearest
Walmart when it suddenly begins to downpour:       $6.00


Having a late dinner for two at the 
Saigon Grill on the Upper West Side:                     $50.00


Finishing off a long day with a
cup of delicious hazelnut gelato:                             $4.00


Getting to spend the last couple of days discovering new and interesting places while helping your brother find a place to live in New York which means that you two get to live in the same city for the first time in literally a decade?  PRICELESS


Some things money can't buy.  For everything else, there's the measly amount of savings you've accumulated after two years of working in an underpaid job.


*On a totally unrelated note, go over to The Sassy Curmudgeon's blog, and check out this post about women's bathrooms.  For women, it will make you laugh out loud. For all the men out there, it will unveil the hidden world of bathroom politics and potentially scar you for life by forcing you to think about women doing something other than peeing in a bathroom.  (I've tried talking to various guys about this topic--I won't go into it, but apparently there are fairies involved in the removal process.)
