Resisted Temptation !

May 10th, 2009 at 11:22 pm

To buy a TV..

My best friend was visiting and we were discussing my love life (or lack thereof !) hehe....

We were saying we should make the most of my apartment and turn it into a social place for congregation post night-club. My current TV is a 14" portable. He reckons I need at least a 37".

This weekend an electrical retailer was offering 2 years interest-free credit. Very tempting. Yet didn't indulge. There are a few things I want to buy before a TV...(I don't really watch it that much)

The thought of taking on a monthly payment was like kyrptonite to me... yes thats have bad/frugal I have become... I've decided to save up the money at some point in the next year or two and buy one than.

Also, my friend suggested we go on a "late-deal" holiday in July. The flights and accomodation will be cheap but spending on partying could bring the cost up to 1000 euro or more.

A lot of money. The main objective would be to meet females also on holiday, party and get laid....

My friend is confident with women.. and it would be fun... even a learning curve for me.... When we discussed it I was up for it... but now I'm having second thoughts due to the money involved...

but I also thinking... this is a good chance to spend fun time with your best friend; have some sun, sand and hopefully sex; you only live once ( thinking about my recent 30th birthday and the lack of love life in my 20s)

hmmm.... I could just save like crazy up until July so that it won't throw me off track financially too much ?

    Good job on fighting the temptation. Too bad I can't say I did myself...I bought a 37" flat screen in March using the 0% interest for a year. Good thing is, I will have it paid off in June.
    Good luck on getting the hook up with the ladies. Just be yourself and have some fun Smile

    This friend is a "He"?? no wonder he wanted you to get a TV! All men think the answer to everything is a TV.

    I think you should do what works best for you, not what may or may not attract the ladies, or even what your friends want.

    I understand about the issue of a lack of love life or perhaps even a social life. I'm in the same boat. But I for one will not compromise, but perhaps that's just me.

    That said, I'm glad you didn't buy on leverage or anything, especially with the way technology tends to move. By the time you pay something like that off, something much better or for cheaper would have come along.

    That said, a big screen on a budget is a good laser DLP. They're fairly thin and pretty affordable for the size....
