For some reason, unknown to me, I am for the most part horrible with money. I am extremely childish when it comes to money and often come out with elaborate plans on how to spend it, or plan on saving it up to spend it on some gigantic, probably not needed item. I somehow talk myself into believing that I absolutely need said item, it will better me in some fashion. It's ridiculous and never-ending.
The most recent of these was my decision to purchase an Alienware M17x. I have not purchased it, as it will cost me over $3,000.00 before tax and shipping. It's not that I don't wholly want that machine, I've always wanted an Alienware and the gaming potential of it would be INSANE. The only issue with that is that I'm trying to get away from the way I currently play video games, all day. Except as of late, I haven't even turned my xbox on to be honest. I would probably get back into playing World of Warcraft and maybe a little bit of Pirates of the Burning Sea. Who needs that though, right?
Another item that is similar in price to the M17x is a sailboat. The rocking thing about a sailboat is that I could pretend to be a pirate, sail the high.. lakes and pillage what is pillage-able within the law. Owning a sailboat is something that I kicked around a lot last Summer. The cool thing about it? I would own a sailboat. Not only that but it would get me outside when the weather is nice so that I could sail. I'd also be outside cleaning, repairing, etc. You see, for $3,000.00 I would be able to get a 25-28' sailboat that is in need of some TLC and repairs. There is absolutely nothing wrong with that as you have to start somewhere and it would get me better at working with my tools. Also, it would be something the family could do and a great way for me to relax. Think about it, it's about sunset and you're sitting on your sailboat watching the sunset while sip sip sippin' on some sizzer.
Oh decisions...
