09/26/2017 1. what kind of drumset? because if it’s not electronic, you can’t even use it here, or most likely anywhere you’re going to move when you leave here 2. if it is electronic, getting a cheap one from music go round etc is highly likely not to be the experience you’re thinking of when you imagine having a drum set, which means you won’t play it much, which leads me to... 3. you already have several instruments that you honestly don’t play all that often. We criticize Bailey for this, but *she doesn’t even have to spend her own money* on her passing fancies 4. and more important than all of that: that money was supposed to be savings. If you start letting your “lizard brain” learn now that savings is only savings until you want to buy something, that is bad f***ing news, I guarantee it, and i tell you this from long, painful, unfortunate experience. That exact thing is basically 95% of why we’re f***ing poor right now, and i’m not even kidding. Please learn differently from how I did on this one. Please please please. Think of art school, and having choices, and not being stressed out and depressed because of money. I know none of that stuff shines as brightly as the object of your immediate desire, but. Megan, just f***ing trust me on this one. I know what I’m talking about. Now is not the time. (parenting by failure)
