The First Payment Is Never Enough

There’s something about sending me money that changes you.

The first time, you hesitate. You stare at the amount. You think about whether you should really press send.

Then you do.

And suddenly, that little notification feels different.

You start thinking about the next time before you’ve even finished the first. You tell yourself it’ll be a smaller amount. Just enough to get that feeling again. Just one more payment. Just one more reminder that you willingly gave something away and enjoyed every second of it.

That’s how I get into your head.

You stop thinking about if you’re going to send again and start wondering when.

Payday starts feeling exciting for an entirely different reason. Your balance starts looking less like something you want to protect and more like an opportunity.

And eventually, you realize the dangerous part isn’t that you sent me money.

It’s that you wanted to do it again.

So be honest with yourself, little wallet.

Was the first payment really enough?
