With some bonus just in, I suddenly feel rather tempted to spend on some gadgets. I know this isn't a good time to indulge, and I should be saving up the bonus. But I just keep thinking about 2 things - a better lens for my DSLR camera so that I can capture better pictures, and one of those popular netbooks in the market.
Both are not necessities. It's just nice to have. I could easily put off buying them but once in a while I just feel the urge to check them out online or whenever I pass by the stores and see them on display.
Whenever I feel the strong urge and the voice in me that says "It's a great buy!", I keep reminding myself that times are bad, I don't even know if I will get the next bonus and whether there's going to be any salary increment. And the biggest demotivator for me to buy those stuff is my son. I keep thinking how much I could buy for him with that amount that I spend on the gadgets. And with that, I always end up walking away empty handed of gadget, but probably a few bagful of clothes, books or toys for the little boy :)
And it makes me smile and happy! A mother's choice is always clear. The child will always come first.
