I've become very good at sitting on my money, very good. Two more bills to be paid in the next few days, $500 coming in a week or so, 25 or so days and large check with another large down payment a few days out. Will have plenty of money but will still sit on it like an old miser. Learned early when I started that I needed to resist the urge to splurge. Besides the money in the bank I've got emergency money tucked away that will last for about two months of bills.
I've wanted an updated radio for my truck for about 3-4 years, a usb radio. Wanted some steps for the truck for the last year and other frivolous things, custom door for welder, welder paint job, and everytime I think about it I wait and wonder how much money the radio will make me, the steps or the fancy paint on the welder and sit on the money. Everytime I say I'm low on money it just means I'm lower than what I really want in the bank.
It's hard to rattle me about that. Now, mess with my money and I'll get p.o'd in a New York minute.
