Post-college poverty*:
It is acceptable to wear to my professional place of business seven year old trouser pants with all seams fallen, two of three buttons gone forever, and a hole ripped across the ass cheek.
*Poverty - A fluid state of being in which money is prioritized to drugs of choice and food, fancy clothes too short, too low or too be-sequined for the workplace, and travel. NOT impending graduate school, NOT car maintenance, NOT future life purchases like a house or dog.
This is my argument for a raise: I need new pants.

Yes. Sure I still can manage to find money for regular manicures and sundresses, but when it comes to a new blouse for an interview? Nope, can't find the pennies.
