And let's not forget that babysitters now get $20 - $25 per HOUR here in NJ. Want to go out for a movie? Plan to spend an extra $75 if you intend to also see the previews! INSANE.

Same here in the Denver area! And considering how long previews are these days, it adds up....

I took mine to see Sonic and it was his first movie. It was easily $80 because of course he needed the Sonic swag to commemorate his first time.

I love this! I have considered signing up for a writing course but have yet to find one that resonates.

I hope you find one! I'm equally excited and terrified (you know, the whole "who do I think I am?!" inner critic....)
