Temptation...

Consumer greed is a powerful tool. I've wanted a cellphone for awhile, and I have to keep fighting down the temptation to just run out and buy one. It would handy if the three people who call me needed to call. It would be handy for emergencies. It would be handy for the few times I need to make a call and my husband is on the computer. But would it actually be worth what I would have to spend on it? Even if it's a pay-as-you-go plan?

Plus I'm afraid to actually mention it to B, as it will invariably bring up a round of 'we can't afford that right now until we pay off the credit card debt'. And then he'll ask me how that's going and it won't be going down enough for him and we'll fight and...

Is that worth it? Probably not.

Man. Wish sometimes that I could just win the lottery to pay off those stupid cards so I can have toys. And help people out too. But I want toys, which is horribly greedy of me.

I am a consumer whore. I admit it freely.
