Splurging on What You Want

Every once in a while I will splurge on something that I just simply want. Can I afford it, not really, do I put us in debt to get it no. I'm not quite that bad lol.

When you get up and go to work everyday and yet never are able to buy something just because you want it- well that really stinks! So every now and then I go and splurge on something that I want.

So, I went and splurged on a Bunn coffee pot that I have been wanting for years and years. I have actually picked one up before and put it in the buggy but then I got that guilty feeling and put it back because they cost so much. ($100) To me thats a lot for a coffee pot.

The thing is though I love my coffee and nothing makes coffee like a BUNN! It's the best tasting coffee I've ever had and it's done in like a blink of the eye too!

My motto is, as long as your bills are paid go and splurge. We gotta have some fun in this life right!!!

My latest indulgence was a new hair dryer. It only cost me $10, and like you, I had second thoughts but went ahead and got it anyway.

We need to be good to ourselves every once in a while. We do everything for everyone else and tend to let ourselves and what we want go to do it.

Anyway, a coffee pot is a needed thing so I sure wouldnt worry about it if I were you. Bunns are good coffee pots and is a purchase that will last for years, if properly cared for.

So you go girl, and enjoy that coffee!!!

I know what you mean,I haven't splurged on myself in a long time.Ussually I keep my hair cut and my nails done,but this past year,I haven't gotten my hair cut or my nails done.Making room in my budget in impossible right now.

I went with out a job for about 3 months and I am still playing catch up.It really sucks to go to work everyday knowing that you barely make enough to cover the months bills.On top of all that my daughter is trying to go to college.That is an expense thing to do right now and it is not going a fast as she wants but what do you do?
