I've been very Christmas-hungry because of all the advertisements & all the things I realize I 'need' as an up & coming triathlete and the things I 'want' as a greedy 'lil bitch haha.
On the other hand...I would like to save for a house next year...very conflicting. I'd like a house so I can own something besides a pair of skis & a bike...something really of value. I LOVE living w/ my parents. They've been my buddies through thick & thin & we get along better now than ever. We have such a fun time at home with our humor and silly non-sense.
The idea of living on my own is scary...it means paying a mortgage, paying for my own car insurance (which up til now, my father graciously pays), my own food, heat, electricity, internet, water, new furniture and whatever I'm leaving out, surely whatever it is, will cost me thousands.
Perhaps thats why I keep spending...cuz if I don't have the money to buy a house, I surely wouldn't have the money to support it. Is it so bad that I wouldn't mind living with Mommy & Daddy forever?!
I did buy a money jar over the weekend that has a digital counter. I have over a dollar so far to put toward my house!
I REALLY want a new camera. Mine is terribly fuzzy & just outdated. Sucks that technology is shot after a couple years. The G11 from Canon is looking pretty good...but it is bigger & more expensive than I had in mind, though it has really great features. I told myself no purchasing it until I have my Christmas bonus in hand. Perhaps I can get away with a smaller, cheaper point & shoot that will be good 'nuff & I can put the rest of my Christmas bonus in my money jar!
