I want to go to SF to meet and see Babblers and also because I used to live in the Bay area and would like to visit it again. I guess she wants me to save my money for a house or retirement or something, but it's not like I go on trips every month. I go once a year. I think I should be able to travel once a year.
I must eat out at restaurants probably a couple of times a year not counting vacations. I see movies once in a blue moon. I don't often have fun. I think I've earned a bit of fun time.
