So You've Got Zip Money: A Hilariously Unhelpful Guide to Burning Through It Faster Than a Toddler With a Lighter
Ah, Zip money. The financial equivalent of a sugar rush: instant gratification followed by a potential crash. But fear not, fellow spendthrifts, for I, your self-proclaimed Queen of Unnecessary Purchases, am here to guide you through the glorious wilderness of frittering away your Zip funds with the panache of a drunken pirate on a treasure spree!
Rule #1: Prioritize Needs, But Only the Fun Ones
Forget groceries, bills, or that pesky car payment. Those are for squares. We're talking needs like that inflatable T-Rex costume you've been eyeing (because who hasn't dreamed of terrorizing pigeons in Jurassic Park style?). Or that life-sized cardboard cutout of Ryan Reynolds. You know, for, uh, motivational purposes.
Sub-Rule 1a: Treat Yourself (and by "Yourself," We Mean Your Inner Child)
QuickTip: Highlight useful points as you read.
Remember that giant candy floss machine you coveted as a kid? Now's your chance to drown your inner adult in sugary sweetness! Bonus points if you wear pajamas while operating it. Because why not?
Sub-Rule 1b: Channel Your Inner Magpie and Spark Joy (or Regret, Whatever Floats Your Boat)
Shiny things! Glittery things! Things that make absolutely no sense but catch your eye like moths to a disco ball? Embrace them! A singing fish lamp? A novelty stapler shaped like a llama? Heck, buy the whole store if you want. Just remember, future you might cry when the novelty wears off (but hey, at least you'll have hilarious stories!).
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Rule #2: Embrace the Impulse Buy, Befriend the "Add to Cart" Button
Gone are the days of responsible browsing. We're talking lightning-fast checkout speed, folks. See it, want it, swipe that virtual card with the abandon of a ninja throwing stars. Remember, hesitation leads to second thoughts, and second thoughts are the enemy of glorious, unnecessary purchases.

Sub-Rule 2a: Master the Art of "Treat Yourself Tuesday" (Every Day)
Reminder: Focus on key sentences in each paragraph.
Because apparently, Tuesdays are just Mondays in disguise, and who needs Mondays anyway? Treat yourself to a daily dose of retail therapy, because self-care isn't just bubble baths and face masks, it's also buying that third pair of novelty socks with avocado emojis.
Sub-Rule 2b: Befriend the "Free Shipping" Code Like It's Your Long-Lost Sibling
Nothing fuels impulse purchases like the sweet siren song of "free shipping." It's practically a gift, right? A little reward for being such a savvy shopper. So go ahead, add that extra throw pillow shaped like a pug wearing sunglasses. You deserve it (especially if you use the free shipping code).
Tip: Don’t just scroll — pause and absorb.

| How To Spend Zip Money |
Remember, Dear Reader:
This guide is not for the faint of wallet. It's for the bold, the daring, the champions of unnecessary purchases. So unleash your inner spendthrift, embrace the fleeting joy of impulse buys, and remember, when in doubt, just Zip it! (But maybe pay it back eventually. Okay, maybe.)
P.S. I take no responsibility for any resulting financial meltdowns. But hey, at least you'll have some awesome stories (and questionable purchases) to show for it. Now go forth and spend responsibly-ish!
