I echo the sentiments of the budgeteers.
The only thing I allow myself to buy is stuff that I need for everyday living.
However, if there's anything I
want beyond that, I have to create a small savings for it, and save up until I have enough to pay it up front.
In that sense, I can have anything I want. I just have to save up for it.
Right now though, all I WANT is to pay off my student loans!
(Although, I feel like I should change my name from Broken Arrow to Broken Record.
