Good list man. I have the same problem with money, tickles if it’s in the pocket!
Thx man. and you are right about the tickling part. Usually by the 15th of every month I am left with an empty pocket. so consequently i have to ask my mom for more or take a loan from my sis the interest on which is ghastly! sad sad story!
