Im having an embarrasment of riches moment.
I can pick up a 3DS. I have the money, and it wont bankrupt me. All my bills are paid and I have $500 left over.

But I can only do so because of free medical supplies I got because I couldnt afford earlier this month. And donations made by fans for the same reason. And I have a real guilty conscious about spending any of that on anything but medicine.

I also owe one of the roomies $620. I've been making payments for sometime ($700 in one month). Giving her the 3DS money would not pay her off, and with the free samples dried up, may not make a 3DS possible later. Still I owe her, and its rough to enjoy the game knowing I'm still in debt.

I also have had an incredibly rough four months and would like a treat. I've been looking forward to this for a year. But...I owe. And its not medicine.

Sigh. I have a day to decide.

It's not medicine. Sorry, chica. In the hierarchy of needs, a 3-d gaming system ranks pretty low.

If I were your roomie, I'd be really pissed unless you talked to me about it and I was okay not getting paid back for a toy. Money's tight for most everyone right now, yes?

What Erin and Casey both said. And how.

Retail therapy might feel good in the moment, but how long before your pennies are pinched so tight they're screaming again?

Either pay towards debt or put it aside for the next ever-impending emergency.
