aha, I getcha now.
you know, I used to be that kind of person ('fashion emergency!!!'), but I'm so disciplined nowadays...an emergency is a major health issue, or...well, I think that's pretty much it. I pay all my bills on time, so I don't need to worry about the heat getting turned off, or anything like that.
I did recently shell out some extra $, because I started looking at my job options, & needed a new portfolio (not cheap - $130) & a few new pieces of clothing. But I wouldn't call that an emergency - it just means that I'll cut back on my spending for the rest of the month.
