Pawning....

W to the H-I-T-E to the T-R-A-S-H.... Yesterday I had my first experience selling to a pawn shop. it was basically awesome. Spencer and I were at my storage unit trying to find some crap among my boxes and boxes of crap, and while we were there we uncovered a pair of diamond earrings that were given to me from an ex boyfriend 7 years ago. Honestly, I had only worn them once, and they were tiny and I knew I would never wear them again, so we began to think of ideas of what to do with them. Some ideas included smashing them under Spencer's shoes into a thousand tiny pieces (not that they could get much smaller), throwing them off a bridge (if we could find one), or finding his current address and mail them to him with a note created from letters cut out of newspaper. Then we realized that we could benefit from this. And that's when we decided to pawn them. Neither of us have ever experienced this before and let me tell you, a monster has been born. We want to sell everything to pawn shops. The people were super nice and we got $30 from it. Since becoming engaged I have become very aware of money and I'm not gonna lie, it kind of freaks me out. I'm not worried at all when it comes to getting married. I am super confident in my decision, but the thought of money, which I have a horrible history with, scares the heck out of me. Luckily I have learned how to better my budget skills and have very open communication with my future hubby, so we can be honest and tell each other not to spend money and we are super good at being cheap. But now that we have discovered the ways of the pawn shop and we will be rolling in the dough.... HAHA!!! I highly recommend the pawn shop experience!!! Just do it!
