I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Think of all the instant gratification cash can give you.
I don't see "I'll wait and have more instant gratification later" being a really effective way to change behavior, but maybe that's just me.

I did the same thing when I was reading it. Do you like it?
