Why is it somehow more difficult to spend $100 when you have it - than when you don't? I was lucky enough to receive $100 gift card to Amazon.com. I'm super excited about it and go rounds in my head about what I should do with it. I agonize between spending it totally frivolously on myself (in case you don't know....I'm proud of the fact that I seek and get great deals) or if I should so something uber responsible with it.
I dream. I shop. I even posted pictures. I have it narrowed down to a Kindle - my sister has one and says such great things about it, BUT I'm thinking I want to get an iPad. But, I can't afford an iPad right now and certainly can't justify spending that kind of money as a single mom when I really COULD spend the money it costs for that iPad on winter clothes for my kids or another pair of shoes for them. I have a pair of Dansko shoes that I love, love, love - I've even swayed several friends to buy their own pair (and my mom has bought several pair) but the ones I have are almost 11 years old. YES! I have shoes that are almost as old as my son. So proof positive that they last (which I really need when I only buy something for myself every 11 years). Pair of UGG boots. In my view the boots are the most frivolous of them all. I really want a pair -but once again there are several other brands that LOOK like UGGs but they just are not the same. I have gone to the store for several years now and tried them on each year.
OR
I could do the totally responsible thing buy some Christmas gifts for my kids. Stock them up. Have nothing to buy in a matter of months. Spread out the wealth....
What to do?
Yes, when I don't have $100 I have no problem spending it in the Grocery Store!
