Everyone I know works their asses off to make money. Stinginess appears at all weird times and it seems like we arbitrarily get frugal in certain circumstances (for many, this is when it comes time to tip). Yet, garbage bags, am I right? I guess I should clarify. Garbage bags are things we spend money on to exclusively throw out. That means, we take money, convert it into a garbage bag, and then throw out the garbage bag (a representation of our capital in bag form). Isn’t that insane? In this specific situation, we are buying trash. That’s fascinating to me, but I still do it.
Perhaps, we should just get canisters with zero bags in them, and just dump our trash directly into the dump. It is probably better for the environment, but then you would have to take time to clean the canister that was holding the trash (and it would probably stink); so I guess we use trash bags to hold trash so we don’t have to clean our garbage cans.
But in the end, are garbage bags just us throwing out money?
