I’ve never made as little money as I did in 2023. I know that it’s gauche to talk about money, which is why I’m writing about it instead. Of course I don’t want to be writing about money. I’d rather be writing about a new hat I found on the bus or a lipstick I bought in a shade I didn’t think would suit me but actually did. But my mind is on the money, the having and not having of it, earning it and not earning of it, and it’s all that comes out when I type.
