I'm going thru MSN Passport and buying a Canon S100 thru PhotoAlley for like $360. I've wanted a digital camera for about 2 years now.. With the technology getting better and prices dropping, now is the time. Problem is, I don't have the money. I guess that's what my Mastercard is for. I'll worry about paying for this sucker at the beginning of January when the bill is due.

Just clicked the button. Got order number.. Ugh. I'm gunna hate myself in the morning.. Oh well. Ya only live once, huh?

Actually, it's a fact. It's only money. It can't be anything else or it would cease to be money.

get more credit cards and see if you can balance it for a few more payment periods. ;-) WITHOUT adding to it.

actually, since it takes several days to mail a credit card payment via snail mail... duh! ;-)

Heh. Not really in debt, per say. But I like to keep about $500 above the $500 of my minimum balance for a cushion. I don't even my minimum balance down in my checkbook, so my bank statement is $500 off from the checkbook. Saves me from paying fees. This will just cut into that cushion by about $200. So, I'm not too bad off.

I neglected to mention that I picked up a pay check today, and I'm getting another $500 from Uncle Sam on 1 December. I'm not exactly 'hurting' for money, but I have better, smarter things to spend on the money.

But, fsck it. It is only money, I'll only be in my 5th year of college once, I've been working my ass off this semester. It's a christmas present for myself.
