So, tonight, my mom lectured me about spending money. It's not what you think tho, what makes it weird is it's totally the opposite! Let me establish something real quick: I am what I like to call a COMPULSIVE SAVER, I don't like spending money unnecessarily or wastefully, I get money and I put it right in my wallet that I stockpile all my cash in, the opposite of a COMPULSIVE SPENDER. Yeah, not joking. My mom told me I can't keep trying to save all my money and that I should spend more of it like my sister does. X.@; Honest to goodness I'm not making this up!! This woman thinks that she needs to buy me another pair of tennis shoes because "I need them", when in reality I have THREE PAIRS in really good condition (I don't drag my feet and I take care of my stuff pretty well). Actually, I even have a wearable pair form back in 2000. And she keeps wanting to get me more hoodies and sweatshirts, I swear I have like 15 of them if not more. Sometimes I wonder if I should be in an episode of "True Life"...¬_¬




p.s. "ottoman" is a funny word XP

Technically, you don't "need" shoes. lol
Hey, I'm a compulsive saver too! The problem is I'm also a gamer and computer geek,* so that compulsive saving has to make compromises. Plus I've been getting a bit lax on my usual "wait until the games drop in price" habit, as I've splurged on getting six Wii games for full price (Wii play doesn't count... it's a remote with a $10 game =P ). But man, my whole Gamecube library I rarely had anything that went above $30 (the exception being Ikaruga).

There is something to be said for getting yourself something nice once in a while, but saving and saving is applause-worthy. Especially when you're old enough to put money into a Certificate of Deposit at a bank and let it sit there while it earns more than $200 in a year. At least... that was back when interest rates on CDs were still good. :hmm:

*(Although I dropped out of computer gaming specifically because hardware requirements were too high for me to handle without spending exorbitant amounts of money to upgrade. A shame too, because PC games usually drop in price the fastest).

Geez, I ranted again! If I ever talk [type] too much, you have full rights to stop me. Not that you didn't have those rights before, what with the "hide comment" button and all. ;)

As I was sitting in my chair, I knew the bottom wasn't there. No legs or back, but I just sat. Ignoring little things like that. :wow:

it was once said that a black man would become President when pigs fly. 100 days into Obama's presidency: swine flu.
lol I don't mind rants XD

I'm definitely a gamer, but I guess I'm lucky in the fact that I have very narrow interests in 'em, so there's not really that many games I'd like to play. Mostly Sims and a couple from the "Tycoon" series :D. and of course there's pokemon and sonic. basically, I only buy what I REALLY REALLY want, which doesn't happen much.

I've never thought about putting it in a CD, that may be a good idea :)

Bear in mind, most CDs require you to put in a minimum of $1000, and that money is nigh untouchable for the amount of time you put it in for. But, obviously, your local bank will inform you of all that information if you ask them. ;)

THAT'S CRAZY D: I'm not sure how I'd do on saving money...even if I'm 15 already...I don't have a job or any allowance...I just know I don't want to be like my brother and buy video games instead of food XD;
