Money Problems

James was always throwing money around. He wanted to make sure everybody knew how much he had and what he chose to spend it on.
On this particular day, he was buying a new wallet. Before he left work, he looked out the window and saw that it was raining, which was bad news for his leather shoes, which, as he made sure everybody knew, were Paul Smith. However, it was good news for him, because it meant that he could wear his new raincoat, which, as he made sure everybody knew, was Burberry.
As he exited his office building and made his way to the Louis Vuitton store, James watched the people he passed. The look on each face answered a question he had asked himself. Were his pants too short? Were his sleeves too long? Should he have worn darker socks? He was sure that he looked terrible and that the people in the store would judge him.
Upon arriving at the store, he headed directly for the checkerboard-patterned wallet that he had been looking at online. He looked at the salesperson and said, “I would like the Damier wallet.” He had no idea that Damier was French for “checkerboard pattern,” but he did not let the salesperson know that.
James did not react when the salesperson told him that the total for the wallet was $497.56. Rather, he swiped his debit card. The store was silent until the salesperson spoke up, saying, “Sir, your debit card has been declined. Do you have another form of payment?” James, stalling, muttered for a few seconds, “I, uh . . . well, um . . . let me see what I, um . . . have.” He needed time to think. He could easily reach into his wallet and get his credit card, but after getting a notice that informed him that he was four months behind on his payment, he swore to himself that he would only use it for emergencies.
The next thing he heard was the salesperson saying, “Here’s your credit card and your receipt.” James had swiped his credit card without even realizing it.
As he walked out of the store with his new wallet, he felt the great feeling that always came after he made a big purchase. The feeling continued throughout his bus ride home.
Upon arriving at his apartment, he saw an envelope taped to his door. He pulled it off the door and headed inside. His one-room efficiency apartment was filled from floor to ceiling with UPS boxes, shopping bags, and unworn clothes. He sat on his bed, which also served as a couch and a kitchen table, and opened up the box that held his new wallet. He placed the wallet on his lap and stared at it as he opened up the envelope he found on his door. He read the piece of paper that was inside the envelope. It was an eviction notice. He could not remember the last time he paid his rent. As the great feeling he had been surfing on turned into shame, James opened his laptop, got on the Internet, and began looking for a cashmere sweater.
