Ah, the joys of being 37 and gainfully employed
On the way to work I pass a shoe shop with lovely shoes on display, but a bit expensive for me. I’ve had my eye on, more or less, all the sandals they’ve had in the window this summer. Today I noticed that the prices have come down a lot, now it’s the end of the season, and they’re much cheaper. Time to go shopping!

Now if I was still in my early twenties, I would…
a) worry that if I bought them now, they would be terribly out of fashion by next summer.
b) not be able to afford them even at the cheaper prices.
