Well over the past few months I've tried to be very diligent to regards to my savings; let me tell you it hasn't been easy! I can be what you call an impulse buyer, if I see what I like then I'd go and buy it. The only problem with that is it means no savings, cause I do tend to buy buy buy!
Now I have been saving; well I've been 'trying' to save for more then a year now (like my recording how much I spend on a daily basis) but now I have been really strict on myself in regards to NOT BUYING ANYTHING! I can't really put a numerical number yet on how much I saved, but it does feel alot more then before. To add to that calclulation includes the dollars I'm using to pay off my car, so I hope I'm doing good. I'm not going to look into my "savings" account for a few more months and hopefully surprise myself! Either way I think I'll surprise myself.
But due to my lack of buying, I have somewhat developed a little shopping list of what I want to buy. Actually thinking more about it now, the shopping list isn't as long as what I first had thought, but it is still quiet extensive and requires parting with quiet alot of dollars. Anyways here it goes.
Firstly I want to get a new pair of sunglasses. These particular pairs are the Oakley Jupiter LX. These pair in this particular colour I have yet to locate at any stores (namely the Oakley store), so I guess that's a good thing and can say it's a sign. There are a few others that I've had a look at and tried incl. the Oakley Eyepatch; I know I already have a pair of these, but I want the polarized kind. Another eyewear accessory I'm eying is a new pair of perscription glasses, the Oakley Muffler. As you can see I have this some what of a fascination with Oakley's but I'll elaborate more on that later.
Secondly I've kept my eyes out for some bucketseat for my car. In particular the Zeta III by Bride. Now I know this is something that I should not get, because it is a want not a need. Actually that goes along with all the "other mods" I've conjured up in my mind for my little Swift; for example lowering the car, new set of wheels, super-charger just to name a few. I really got to get off the car forums aye, because to begin to modify would defeat the whole purpose of purchasing a new car! I know if I do start modifying it wouldn't just stop at one; and it doesn't come cheap! So I will make a promise here that I will not modify my Swift. Ci you can use this against me if I even start to get ideas!
Lastly, I have being wanting to buy myself some "new" Modern Amusement t-shirts. Actually I am actually quiet surprised that I haven't bought any since June. I think thinking back I would buy at least one every one to two months; so going four months without buying, actually four months without buying clothing for me is a big deal! Actually I did promise myself that I would only buy Modern Amusement t-shirts when I'm in Japan; so that means I'd have to go over more frequent; which for me isn't really a bad thing. Actually no, that would mean spending money wouldn't it?
Actually it felt good putting it out there; now I don't expect this as a hint as to what to get me (though gifts of the above items are always welcomed). What I mean is that I can keep an eye out as to what I can do to curb my need to purchase the above items. You all can help me to!
