15 habits of a broke girl in NYC
1. $1 pizza slices become a staple diet item.
2. Finding a quarter on the ground means you're that much closer to doing your laundry.
3. Super gluing sandals because you can't afford a new pair.
4. Taking sugar/salt/pepper packets from the local diner.
5. Razors? They can last months. Two-week contacts? More like two-month contacts. Last dollup of toothpaste? Spread it out over a week.
6. Checking your bank account is scarier than walking through the projects at 3 am.
7. Getting upset that your magazine subscription is ending -- the one you got for free for collecting enough Diet Coke points.
8. Refilling your water bottle at any drinking fountain you find, because, paying for water should be illegal.
9. Seeing half-eaten food left behind makes you angry.
10. You consider going on dates just for the free food (if he doesn't pay, well, he's an asshole and now you're even more broke).
11. You attend any events with freebies. Even if it's nothing that you like.
12. Watching the meter rise in a taxi stresses you out more than your calculus final.
13. Winning free happy hour at a bar is the best thing you've heard all week.
14. Downloading coupon apps on your iPhone with the intent of becoming an extreme couponer.
15. Taking a water bottle filled with liquor to the bar. Then secretly pouring it into your glass.
