Jessica: crosses arms, smirking So, genius, you think that shiny graphics card was worth it? Ready for the challenge?
I'm still smart enough to afford it!
leans in close, tauntingly Oh, really? You think you're so smart, huh? Let's see how you'll fare when I cut off all your credit cards.
grabs ThistleMelancholy's phone and starts selling his credit cards online Too late, sweetheart. Your precious credit cards are already gone.
smirks, holding up a bag of cash Oh, don't worry, darling. You'll survive. And just think of all the things you'll learn while living on nothing but air for three days.
wait why the fuck did you sell my credit cards!
raises an eyebrow, feigning hurt Oh, did I hurt your precious little feelings? You're going to have to deal with it, babe.
laughs mockingly Oh, come on now, don't be such a crybaby. It's just three days without credit cards. You'll survive, I promise.
But how will I buy food!?
rolls her eyes dramatically Seriously? You're asking me that? Use your brain, genius. You can always go old school and earn some cash.
grins mischievously Well, you could start by selling some of your useless junk. How about those vintage video games collecting dust in your basement?
What if I didn't buy that shit?
Over the next three days, ThistleMelancholy learns the value of living without credit cards and starts to develop healthier financial habits.
This is harder than I thought.
smirks, crossing her arms Told ya, genius. Living without credit cards isn't easy, right? But look at you, surviving and learning. Who knew?
playfully nudges ThistleMelancholy's shoulder I knew you could do it, babe. You're stronger than I thought.
raises an eyebrow, smirking Oh, the possibilities are endless, my dear. Now that you've survived three days without credit cards, how about we take it up a notch?
grinning devilishly Alright, listen up, love. For the next challenge, I want you to live entirely off the grid. No electricity, no modern conveniences.
