Today has knocked me back a bit. My TV took a turn for the worst so I decided to go to a cheap TV place a friend was telling me about. I could of easily walked out with a half decent TV for 200 quid. But instead I was wowed by the amazing ones they had on display. The trouble is, the one that I have that’s decided it no longer wants to be part of my life, is a 46 inch LED 3D TV. So anything less is gonna annoy me now. I went to the store hoping to spend 200 max but left with a curved TV costing £925. That’s not the annoying bit. I had to transfer £1000 out of my savings to pay for it. So from nearly 6 grand a couple of weeks ago, I’m back down to 4! It’s just knocked me a bit to see how hard it is to save money. I’ve taken two grand out in the last two weeks and haven’t saved a penny. I think the next step is to sell a few more items from my collection. Unfortunately I’ve sold most of my spares and now have very little to show for it.
This journal has become less about my inability to stop gambling and more about my inability to save any money.
