Wanting to Buy...

I woke up this morning and as I was laying in my bed trying to make rational thoughts, I thought about how fun it would be to get a Wii! So let's take a minute to break it down with the pros and cons:
Pros: It would be fun!

Cons:Initial $
$ required to buy new games and equipment
the time it would take to play games
another thing in my life that I could obsessively play

Ok, that's a quick list and it's already 3 to 1. Not good. So at this point in my life, I don't think I'll get one. However, I was really close to convincing myself to get a Wii!

I think there are certain times in our lives that we should not be allowed to spend money. Here's a list of what I can think of off the top of my head:
1. within a half an hour of sleeping for any length.
2. after consuming 3 or more drinks.
3. After losing game seven of the world series in MLB 09 the Show.
4. the two hours after losing a formal sporting competition.
5. the half a day after tripping on stage for chair placement in all state band (that happened to a friend of mine[Jeanette Clark].
6. the month after winning the lottery.
7. the two weeks after receiving a pay raise.
8. the ten minutes after watching an inspirational movie such as Rocky IV, Boondock Saints, or Hoosiers.

Not that any of those times are bad, but it just may lead to further impulse buys.
