In this current economy, and with my current income, I can’t just buy everything I want. This is especially frustrating since what I want doesn’t really cost all that much. Still…I have to plan, justify the purchase, and plan some more.
It would be nice if I could just go buy these things, but disposable income is kind of a myth for me currently. What I want right now are these: Amazon Kindle, a new acoustic guitar, and a new stereo for my car. That’s less than a grand all together, but it will still put a dent in the checking account.
Now I am faced with planning and choosing. Should I cut down on things that I need to get something I want? Should I cut down on some excessive food spending (eating out), and put that money toward my short wish list?
I think the obvious answer here is to just increase my cash flow so I don’t have to figure out how to purchase the things I want. Too bad I can’t just snap my fingers to make it happen. I guess I’ll just have to save my pennies for now.
