Feeling Geeky
I rarely buy anything major for myself. Since paying off my car I diverted those monthly payments to my Roth account.
The iPhone was looking attractive for awhile, but I could not justify that purchase even if it was a refurb even though my cell phone has no sound. It vibrations, and that quite nice if you put it in the right places.
Instead of making $600 purchases, I have other budgeted joys - my gym membership, taking in a movie or two a week, my Netflix account, and Direct TV.
As I was paying my DTV bill this morning, I noticed a new feature that made me quite giddy. I can now set up my DVR from my mobile phone. :)
Why did that make me happy? Because of love DTV, and I record lots of shows.
Thanks Direct TV. You're worth the monthly bill (minus the discount I get from my company which makes me even happier).
