@kaia Granted, I also have a hard time with impulse control, so sometimes I buy things I probably shouldn't.
But if you only have $1500 a month across all of your major expense categories, even if I bought no movies, no books, no sound effect CDs, or anything else for myself, after food and everything, I can maybe put away $500 a month, and then I have annual expenses that come up every so often.
So... Yeah...
