For the first time in like 2 or 3 months, today I had enough money to actually buy the full 30-day metrocard for $70. A lot of people have tried to convince me that the 15-ish dollar savings you get by buying the 30 day, versus 4 passes of 7 days each, makes more sense if you are on a tighter budget. Not so though. Sometimes, things get so tight, that you have to spend a little more money in order to keep things moving. That’s what happens when you get paid weekly - VERY weakly!
