Money Relations explains why it's taken her so long to write the "perfunctory PF 'brown-bag' lunch post." We'll tell you why in her own words: "I buy my lunches." (Gasp!) The secret is out. Will there be consequences? She worries, " ... now that I’ve confessed, am I going to be kicked out of the PF community?"
In this charming, tongue-in-cheek post, MR explains that it's OK to be good to yourself when you can afford it. She can, because she has set a $35 weekly limit for lunch. "I’ve come to the realization that it is not in my history, nature, mental makeup, DNA to brown bag or do leftovers," she writes. "The bottom line is just be true to yourself and not to deny the pleasures of life if it is within your means. It just so happens that it is my pleasure to have others cook for me."
