This happen to anybody else, when you want to buy something stupid and expensive... you don't know what, but you just have the biggest urge to make a big purchase...

it's driving me up a wall right now.... but I will not succumb.. because I am broke...

Yes I'm poor right now and for some reason want to buy a catback exhaust for my car. I might just buy the piping/muffler and weld something together myself to get me by. Last night i bought a pair of sunglasses which i kind of needed but probably could have done without. It doesn't matter how much you make because most people will spend what they make!

I 100% agree... I am as poor now as I was in HS making $200 a week.

I got a bunch of money in the house account and its hard as hell not to spend it. it would be so easy 15k would do some nice things to my sti.

My latest urge is for a new strippo Civic DX coupe, 5 speed with no A/C, for ~$14k. Boring on purpose, since my commute is 55 miles round trip, and 22mpg is getting old.

I ended up getting 29 mpg outta my rex two tanks ago, drove it like a baby.

What kind you get? I bought a king size bob-o-pedic a few months ago and a bedroom set from Jordans... $4k in the can... ~crying~

Although, I really like the bed, I couldn't justify stepping up to the "true" tempurpedic.. just seemed like another $1300 down the hole for a name.

i bought a queen size bed, made out of cherry, i like it, low profile footboard so i don't kick it at night, and i can pretty much flop on it without knacking my shins, and a simmons beautyrest mattress, not too firm, not too soft, just right for me i guess you could say, although after i bought new sheets and comforter from ll bean and new pillows at linen's and things i'm out another $250..sheesh

I made my own queen cheap-o-pedic using the same foams that the temperpedics use but custom thickness and density for ~ 500

i just don't like the temperpedics, whichever brand you wanna go with, cause i sink into them and it holds in all the heat, they're just uncomfortable for me, feels like i'm being constrained too

I think I am just going to buy a new computer... no need, but i'll keep it around $800 which is pretty reasonable given all the other expenses I've just incurred.
