Brain Candy For Money Blahs

Girl, you need some money fun, k?

Take a break from calculator in your brain and cozy up to the second season opener of “You’re Cut Off!”, on VH1 tonight, at 9pm/8pm Central.

What? You’ve never watched the quasi-hit reality series about rich girls thrown together in a house, cut off from Mom, Dad and Uncle Visa and forced to, like, volunteer at a homeless shelter and go camping on a budget?

You don’t know what you’re missing.

It’s like “Jersey Shore,” but money’s the problem, not drinking and cheating.

There’s something oddly comforting about watching a bunch of pathetic, spoiled princesses take their first trip to Target.

“I nevah knew you could spend less than $800 on shoes,” says one girl, shaking her head sadly.

And you nevah knew that watching dumb rich girls would make you feel so good about your own finances.

Switch channels. What offbeat stuff inspires you?
