My life has become consubstantial with memes. I feel like shit.

So you occasionally buy fancy things. I don't see the problem. Everybody likes a fancy book now and again. Or did you buy eight?

You should

If you are going to spend $100 on a book, that is the one to get.
Nice bible. You a catholicfag? D-R is a shit translation though, desu. Does not match up at all the grace and power of KJV prose.
Unfortunately the Protestants were always better at translating the bibles into English.

What I do, when I want to buy something, but I don't have a lot of money is I say, "I'll buy it next month" and you keep saying that as long as you have to. You get kind of addicted to denying yourself.

Just one example:
And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (KJV)
And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war. (D-R)
the lovely wording of "beat swords into ploughshares" is lost, and "exercised any more to war" is overly Latinate and bad English prose.
But I commend you for learning the language of our Church. I am a shitty cafeteria Catholic but even a piece of shit heretic like me only needed to go to Tridentine Mass once to realize what an inestimable loss of cultural heritage liturgical reform was.
If you have additional money to spend on a piece of English-language heritage, you can get an awesome leather bound KJV with the deuterocanon (fucking protfags call it apocrypha) from Cambridge press.
I should probably start praying the rosary everyday, to be honest sempai.

I payed 50$ for a Jerusalem bible I don't read because I read other stuff. Feels bad that protties know it more than I do, but reading Aquinas is a priority atm.

Protties gon' prot, but you can rest in the reassurance that sola scriptura is transparent bullshit and you have Sacred Tradition, the Magisterium and the incomparable glory of the Tridentine Liturgy on your side.

That's just procrastination and comes to all peoples quite naturally and easily.

No it's not, it's called restraint. There's a big fucking difference.
