I wish! I want! Hopefully I have!

0 comments
I am getting frustrated of buying my own workstation; I’m not really techie though I’m more on functionality. I don’t seek one for style or anything else rather than necessity.  Can you just imagine I’m an IT specialist and don’t even posses one? Yeah funny or should I say shameful but that doesn’t really matter. I don’t really mind although sometimes I got me wishing to finally get my own unit but recently I felt the need and each day I feel the pressure of filling that need. Seems like I’m not just wishing, I’m already acting on it. My thoughts, my emotions is being driven by a single motive “having my own laptop”
First things first, where on earth will I get money?! Well, got an answer with that just let me keep it myself. Next step is where would I buy?  What exactly I want? You see too many stores, too many brands, too many units. Many are good but what I need is something that satisfies my need and my budget....

Eat before shopping! Don’t shop with an empty stomach; starving affects your mood and your mood affects your choices and it will only mean another expense. Fast-food and restaurant meals are often expensive.

Discount coupons and samples are mom’s favorite. Online coupon codes are said to be better than traditional retail merchant.

Bargains are good but sometimes they are too good to resist that you even break your budget plan. Don't be overwhelmed, buy only those things that you need that is why you have a list and stick on it. " A bargain ain't a bargain unless it's something you need" as Sidney Carroll said.
