The Soapbox : Should I keep this backpack?

(https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R2C243T/ref=twister_B07QXZBR5K?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1)

Should I keep this backpack? (I posted all the pictures at the bottom of this post.)

I have to pay about $10 or $20 this month to join a gym, Planet Fitness. I especially want to use the treadmill.

After that, I may have about $75 or $85 left.

Other things I may need are shaving cream, cough drops, and facial masks.

I was gonna use the backpack for more casual outings. I have a fancier one for church. (The lady in charge of the group home even told me to leave my laptop at home when I take the bus to go places because people might take it.) It was for groceries, though I don't get Food Stamps anymore since I get meals provided at the group home, and to bring to the gym, instead of my fancy backpack purse. This backpack cost about $30. It's made for college students etc.

So, at the new group home I get to keep about $250, I think, instead of just $200, from the 1st of every month. I could easily get a job at any time, it seems, if I had to. Also, this month I didn't even buy new contact lenses. An order or Hubble contact lenses is $36, and a bus pas is $48 for disabled, like I get, for taking pills for a mental illness. That's $84/month, and I'd have $166 left. I just get bathroom supplies as I run out… I eventually need a winter coat and thermal pants and maybe more. I was told to wait until I get here to get a nice one.

It seems I have enough to last me this month. I would only return the backpack to feel more financially secure or to save up for things when I have more money in the bank.

It kinda seems like I need it to put more groceries in maybe or just to match the occasion. $30 isn't bad. I returned a backpack last month as I ran out of money yet still had Food Stamps, now probably around $100, though I won't get them anymore, like I said, since I get meals provided at the group home.

Later on, I may buy like a new violin book or so, maybe cheap furniture, especially if I seem to need it. Now, I'm putting my clothes in a suitcase until I feel up to folding them. They gave me some plastic drawers here, too. I also get a space I can use as a closet in the new group home.

So, I already got it, since there were only a few left, too. It was only $30. It seems to match the occasions of going out to non-dressy places, like the gym. $30 is not that bad, and my only other backpack is a sorta fancy one, like for church. I usually wear tight pants, spaghetti strap shirts, a cardigan without buttons, and a belt. It was so that I could exercise easily at any point throughout the day. Some of it shrunk, so I need to see about having my clothes hung to dry and maybe getting new ones, like next month. When I sleep, I take off the pants since their being extra tight from shrinking bothers me.

At the new group home, I should already get air in the summer and heat circulating in the cold. So, I shouldn't have to worry about paying for that. I hope I can bring the things I bought here, too, a busy day moving, like a trash can. I came here with 2 suitcases and my violin. I might need 1 or 2 boxes of things.

We're already approaching the middle of July and it seems I have enough money, so I may just keep the backpack. I also got an old-fashioned Mickey Mouse keychain to go with it for $7.

I need to join the gym hopefully tomorrow and get going. I want to get in shape and possibly get hired by an acting agency and make money to support myself.

I posted this on Facebook, too.

17th time you've posted this nonsense. Give it a rest, retard.

Keep on smiling!

Wow this is the first time you've posted something that wasn't so dumb. I was beginning to wonder if you weren't christina or Christina's boyfriend.

Hit the showers, pop-faggot.

Keep on smiling!

yes. it has many nice features plus a crazt color scheme

It can certainly make me happy! It's probably a keeper.

I don't really want to bring the fancy backpack purse to the gym. Plus, I can put things in it, like if I go grocery shopping.

For some reason, it looks funny when I bring the fancy backpack purse not wearing fancy clothes, but I can save it for church.

You complain about money but all you talk about is spending money.

You can walk in place for fucking free instead of paying hundreds of dollars a year and knowing you you would probably spend twice that amount of money in the vending machines and another $100 in machines that don't accept money so you push it in because you think it has something to do with Ellen DeGeneres.

Yea, I may even buy cheap furniture when I move to the new group home.

I'd rather be outta here. I guess next destination, Germany or L.A. for acting.

Sometimes, I reflect in private here and get very sad, but I felt better going out again today, though it was rainstorming.

I was thinking of just not buying it, but it might be a good asset I can utilize.

I dunno, it feels like crunch time, but suddenly Baby Boomers are getting older, not sure what they do retired. I imagine it'd be fun to be a CEO or something in your 70s. I slept through the 2010s on medication, and both my parents died over the course of 4 years of some uncertainty.

You keep talking about all the things that you'll buy and spend when your problem is that you have no money. So why would you keep spending more and more money on new things and new memberships?

I'm hoping that using the treadmill will help lower my A1C and get me off these diabetes pills making me tired and launching me into a film acting job using a talent agency in Ohio in the Cleveland, area, so I can support myself and life a fuller life.. unless I get scholarships or whatnot in Germany, first, where I can live and learn German…

You're right, I got the backpack and keychain because they were almost out. It would be nice for the gym and groceries. I didn't know if I should return it yet. I wanted to save money but am afraid I might spend it on something else, too, somehow. I can't imagine myself not buying anything. It just seems inappropriate to always use my fancy purse that doesn't hold things like groceries and, before, library books. Also, it might not be ideal at the gym and could get dirty. It might tweak my life for the better without my even knowing it to appreciate it. Maybe, I'll be more productive. Maybe, it'll bring me good karma. What about that, those kinds of things? It needs to be sorted out, since I couldn't just assume I'd never spend money. I used to save all my allowance, too, when I was young, and then I didn't get any. I wanted a big toy.

So, how will this backpack improve my life and save money?

You're telling me I'm right about something I never said.

You don't know how to read and comprehend. You have no acting skills or experience.

I think you're only way out is to be a prostitute.

This one costs less

Cool, the one I have is a little more practical and flexible, but that one might work…

No I think you should mail it to me instead.

I always buy high quality stuff and my backpack is probably 20 years old or older.

So, the deal if you get the good one you might have it until you're dead.

The same thing goes for shoes.

I have shoes from 30 years ago that are in great condition.

If you buy cheap trash, you feel like you saved money, but when it falls apart, you will be buying it again and again.

I explained this concept to the gf about purses.

I was just thinking the thinking is I get a cheap backpack, but this was reasonable, maybe stretching it a little, much like people treat me.

It has lots of pockets, too, and should make for a pleasant, smooth experience and security that I have a knapsack on my back.

The one you got will last 20 or more years. It's a deal.

The one I have, and I just figured this out after all of this time, even keeps drinks cold for hours.

Well, I've gotten a lot of bags, actually, and got rid of most all of them when I moved out. They do come out with new kinds, some not as nostalgic. Sometimes, it takes awhile before a more ideal design comes out.

A young Ellen is very funny.

Reading this makes me think that I've got to get myself a fancy church backpack too. I can't believe I've gone all this time without one!

Yea, I used to use a regular/rolling backpack to take the bus to church, and people would look at me funny.

Life is a lot less stressful if you don't concern yourself with what other people think. If you wanna roll a backpack into church, then roll away. I'm pretty sure it says just that somewhere in the bible.

why do you show us all these pictures and not just show us pics with you and your backpack?

Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.

It's a better view.
