As for throwing around money, I mean...all I spend it on is drinking and eating out. Occasionally replacing my uniforms or dry-cleaning, but even my rent is covered by the boss, so I don't really have to worry about how I spend. However, if my spending offends you, I can be more frugal. I just thought hey, fuck it, have a good time.
