We waste $18,000 a year on non-essentials? Really? I sort of find this hard to believe, but this is what USA Today says. What should we do then? Only go to the library and read books, refuse to follow Game of Thrones and just sit in our houses and blank out?

I sort of really want a lace skirt, and this one from & Other Stories looks promising.
