Resisting the Computer Temptation
Filed Under Spending | Leave a Comment
Well the other day I went to Best Buy, and decided to browse. My laptop battery is gone and so it requires me to keep things plugged in all the time. Not too fun, but not anything that will kill me.
So I start getting the idea in my head that I want to get one of those little mobile internet PC’s that are good for mainly browsing.
Could I justify that I should get one since after all my laptop wasn’t so mobile anymore? I stopped to ask myself some serious questions.
Why do I need this? Can I live without it? Will it really be of great benefit or is it just a novelty that will wear off like everything else? (Thats a long one) Will I really just be blowing money I don’t have to spend?
I am proud to say that after looking over the sleek and cool small PC’s, that I have resisted the temptation to buy one. In all honesty, I really don’t need one, and when do I actually not have a plug when I take my laptop with me to a friends house or stay at a motel occasionally?
If you don’t need it, resist the temptation to spend money that you can’t recoup in some valuable way. That makes me think of all the other gadgets which we could forgo. Hmm…… I may have to talk about that next time.
