Nope. I usually think "I should go out more" and then when I'm still recovering two days later I think "Ah, this is why I don't go out more."

And when you look at your bank account the next day

[–] Nemo@slrpnk.net 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Why would I do that to myself, I wait for the credit card statement and take it all in at a gulp

[–] FenderStratocaster@lemmy.world 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If I don't look at my account online, does it even really exist?

[–] Dasus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

If an empty bank account is unobserved, is it truly empty?

The amount of money I don't have remains the same, does it not?

Banks charging you for not having enough in your bank account, then "protecting" you from that overdraft for 40 dollars tells us an empty bank account contains approximately -100 dollars.

Yep, I always try to keep it going a 2nd day too extending my hangover to a week

Yep. It's somewhat ingrained in UK culture, at least for people of my gen. I'm 48 this weekend, and plan on staying in with my fam and maybe having a few beers. But that's only because I'm off for a city break with friends next week to see The Beta Band and basically eat and drink for 2 days. Can't wait.
