acting on impulse (or not)

I consider myself a careful spender, but while I’m generally frugal person I’m also not above the occasional impulse buy. I’ve been trying to avoid those purchases lately, though, because my finances are still settling after a switch to a once-monthly paycheck (part of which now goes into a joint account) and the holidays are practically upon us (think presents AND cross-country travel). So much spending in my immediate future! Most unfortunately, my reluctance to spend on myself at this point in time finally bit me in the ass last night when I learned that this is no longer available:

NOOOOOOOO!!!! I honestly have kept this tabbed in my browser for days (weeks?) but hadn’t actually purchased it yet. In fact, late last week I was wondering if I should tell my mom (to tell Santa) that this was a top priority and to shop ahead so I didn’t have to feel bad about dropping $80 on myself right now. Doesn’t matter now because it’s too late! Now if I’m ever going to own the magical deluxe limited edition PJ20 Blu-ray, I’ll have to spend twice as much to buy it off someone on eBay. Great job, self.

Moral of the story? If you want it, JUST BUY IT ALREADY.
