Buying Bug

Do you ever get the urge to spend money? Like you really just need to go spend money. Sometimes it's clothes, sometimes electronics, sometimes baby stuff.

Well, as most of you know, we are poor students who have very little money to spend. Usually, Francisco and I take turns holding each other back and talking sense into each other when the other gets the urge. So if Francisco gets the desire to go buy something, I tell him, well it would be nice to have that, but we can't afford it right now, or maybe we can find something similar that is a little cheaper...

We are always, (well I am always) fighting myself to not over spend on things that we don't really need.

Right now both of us have the buying "bug" pretty bad. In one day we thought seriously about buying a car and even almost applied for a loan, browsed bigger houses to rent, went out to buy new scrubs, went out to dinner, bid on an ipad on ebay, and tried to sign up for a new/better phone plan for smart phones.

Lol. Thankfully (I guess) NONE of these things worked out and the only money we actually spent was about $10 for fast food. We are planning to move to a house at the end of our lease thought (in July!) and we do REALLY want to buy a minivan and we will hopefully be proud owners of one within the next 6 months. Maybe sooner. Just not today. Francisco does need new scrubs for school, he just didn't like the place that we went to, so he will have to go to a different place another day. We really were going to sign up for the new phone plan because it would be saving us money and we would both get Iphones, but they stopped selling that plan just 3 days before! lame!!! So anyway, we decided to wait until Francisco's contract is up in October and get a different plan which is a lot cheaper than what we pay now and we decided that we would get cheaper smart phones and buy an ipad with the saved money (still cheaper than buying 2 iphones). but again, that won't happen 'till next fall.

So, we come out empty handed. Again. Man, I really want to buy something... Anybody want to give me money? ;)
