I recently went on a stag party with a bunch of my old school friends. This stag party was in Ibiza, so even to book things before leaving cost a hefty amount of money, probably around £300.
On the first night of four, I had my phone stolen by a pickpocket while I was trying to stop my outrageously drunken friend being mugged/going off with hookers.
I am pretty frugal and bought this phone for myself just two months ago, the first time I bought a new phone in five years! Another £250 down the toilet. Spending money on the trip was probably in the region of £200, though I don't have many regrets here as we did some cool stuff.
I can feel a little better when I consider that I supported my first buddy from school to get married by going to his stag party. I can also accept losing my phone a little bit as at least I stopped my friend getting mugged or worse.
But all in all, I just spent a hideous amount of money for no good or gain. I spent it with people who get drunk and take drugs and that is the height of their ambition. I have no problem with this or them.
I however am smarter than that, I am better than that and I already knew this lesson so did not need to learn it again.
I am so Frustrated! Why didn't I say I couldn't make it all those months ago!? Its been a few days now and still my frustration is dampening at all, how the hell do I get rid of it!?
