But Didn't

Things I Could Have Done This Weekend But Didn't...
1) Have my roots retouched.
2) Get a hair spa
3) Get a 2 hour massage
4) Get a manicure
5) Get a pedicure
6) Get a foot spa
7) Get a facial treatment
8) Satisfy my craving for Japanese food and invite friends out for dinner
9) Shoe shopping
10) Clothes shopping
Some of the things I could have bought but didn't...
1) A new phone- I swear, my phone is almost 3 years old and is in a sorry sorry state. The metal in front fell off already and my phone keeps dying even if it's not the battery that's the problem. Rebooting is a pain because it takes 3-5 minutes.
2) A new Ipod video- though this isn't an imperative
3) 4gb RAM for my laptop- cuz I want my laptop to be faster
Not because I'm lazy but because I need to save up money. It's true that when you have goals, your priorities change and you end up sacrificing some of the things you love in order to achieve them.
How I miss the days that I was financially free, when I could buy whatever I wanted without hesitation. I always have to remind myself that I just have to sacrifice this year because I'm paying off the condo on my own. Once it's done, I'll find a way to get the money to decorate it and then rent it off. Once it's rented out, it will be self liquidating and I'll have enough money to pay the next year's amortization, save 6 months worth of amortization as buffer AND when that's done, I can now buy whatever I want, whenever I want. Keep your eyes on the prize. Eyes on the prize.
