I don’t think there’s an expression more annoying or a cliché more exploited in women’s magazines than ‘babe on a budget’. I actually mentioned it only to piss you off. What’s even worse is that the phrase has become extremely popular with the recession and the number of ‘babe on a budget’ articles hit the roof. Hurry on and get some ‘babe on a budget’ accessories and put on some ‘babe on a budget’ make-up and you’re good to go! It started to feel almost fashionable, like these ‘babes’ are some new urban breed you want to join immediately. Why wouldn’t you just throw away your couture and get on a budget instead?!
And what about ‘budget restaurants’, ‘budget presents’ and ‘budget travels’? Seems like our lifestyles have been on the wrong track all this time. Why haven’t we heard about this little ‘budget’ trick before? Our savings could have been huge! And if only someone had told us we were paying too much for that new ‘miraculous’ facial! We had no idea!
This is not the reason for complaining though. At least the expression makes you feel better about the fact that you can’t afford things any more, if you ever could. It would still be nice if it was an option instead of a must…
