The Chronic Consumer

So my husband and I spent the better part of the evening talking about how we’re going to spend the extra $600 that we just got from the IRS. We think that this amount is actually a bit difficult to work with. On the one hand, it’s not quite enough to allow us to look into any North Padre Island rentals or take any kind of extended vacation. On the other hand, it is enough to buy a couple of decent tech toys, such as new MP3 players, video game systems, or cell phones.

I just wish that a single want or need would rise above the rest so our decision would be clear-cut and easy. But it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen. There are just so many different things that we’d love to spend this money on that it’s proving very hard to decide here!
