So I've been working my ass off for the last month, and have been saving quite a bit. I'm bored, and I'm about to get some food. I figure, hey while I'm out, why not buy something for myself? So I'm going to. Just something small, like a dvd, or maybe a game. I dunno. Any of yall do things like that? I never want to go buy things (I typically spend my money without thinking, gas food, drinks etc) anyone have reccomendations?
It seems like whenever I try and think of something small i want to buy i can't really find anything to buy, like you i usually only spend my money on food/gas as well as working on paying off my CC. ATM I am looking for a new car so I am trying not to spend very much money For my long term, I am trying to just save, I would like another monitor, new speakers for my computer and a new laptop, but I just can't justify it right now
I wish I had that kind of self control... I've got a couple of master cards that desperately need paying down
I've already go both. Sony EX71's with an altoid tin amp, and at home I've got 5.1 with decent speakers. I may buy some tv on dvd if I can find something cheap enough. goddamned House is 50 bucks a season. I'm sad and lonely
well guys I'm back. I bought southpark season 6 for 20 bucks, a road & track mag, and a car & driver mag There just wasn't anything that really appealed to me. One of the reasons I went is because I'm just having a rough time with the breakup stuff. I was feeling depressed, and going to walmart didn't help. As I was sitting in my car, guess who walks out? The ex, with the guy from work that likes her. woohoo.
if you do buy something, just make sure its something that will get alot of use to make it worth it. speaking of buying little things, i just bought a new nano hawk jet from walmart for $30. Just got in from playing with it outside in the dark, lol EDIT: lol, oh man that had to suck.. buying things to get your mind off of depression and females ftw.
it wasnt so much about buying stuff, more like just to get out of the house. I can't fucking sleep lately. For the last month I've been up til 4am doing jackshit. Some nights I will go out(like all last week), but for the most part I just cant sleep. and sitting at home on the interweb doesn't help we need to resurrect the irc room
I didnt find anything that looked interesting. I was pretty close to buying the orange box, just for TF2. is it any good?
dude, orange box will be the best thing youve ever bought and played. ah man, after a serious breakup.. i dont even wanna remember those days.. not being able to sleep, nothing entertains you, you got the feeling of just going out and driving around in search of something.. something you have no idea about... trying to get out the house to get your mind off things.. only to come back and enter the depressed world of shit again.. my god... i just had a relapse.. excuse me. good luck buddy, lol
haha well Im at least glad to hear that its normal for me to feel/act this way. shit will get better though. I know it will. I know she wasnt the right one for me, and that I will find someone that's alot better. I just don't even know where to look. and 3 years with someone is tough as hell to get over. It's like losing your best friend at the same time
I support this idea. If its for PC, YES. Having gone through it in my recent past, time is basically all it's gonna take. But yeah. Shit gets much much better.
Time will be all it takes. it hurts, I know, just remember that nothing changes if nothing changes. Sooner or later you will either sleep, or get used to not sleeping. I get by fairly well on 4.5-6 hours a night. it's been that way for over three years now. What you are feeling is depression. Not the chronic recurring variety, but the kind most people with a heart feel when a relationship ends. recognizing it for what it is, will help you combat it.
If I've got some money and can't decide what to buy I just save it and wait for a need / want to arise. If you can't think of anything or decide you obvious don't want it bad enough. These days I keep an Amazon.com and NewEgg.com wish list. It helps me organize and prioritize my wants.
That TOTALLY sucks about seeing your ex. Have you ever thought of joining the gym? Thats how I started and ended up hitting it hardcore. It's a great time to be focused and quiet while also pensive. I ended up going everyday, sometimes twice a day. It becomes very therapeutic and also builds up your confidence when you start seeing results. Plus it helps fill out your schedule so you have less time to sit around and mope and also helps you sleep incredibly so you won't be up at night being miserable. And it costs money so you can be fulfilling that desire, too.
DUDE!! WHAT!!! you can use the breakup as motivation to get pumped up and suparmuscular! If you have any anger you can put it to good use
