[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Damn, I want to do this but:

1.  Last night I bought ColorForms for my toddler niece
2.  I just agreed to try to get tickets to the Ice Cream Museum with a new friend
3.  My dad is coming to visit and I want to take him out to lunch and to do something fun[/quote]

Go for it!

Presents are presents.  If you wanted to buy your niece a present, that's your prerogative!

Social Events with your friend and your dad again, might not be necessary, but they are what you want to do.

Still, you can resolve that except for those things, you are going to try to buy nothing that is not absolutely necessary for the rest of the month.

And regarding your dad -- are you sure that what you need to do is take him to lunch, and do something that costs money?

Maybe yes, and if that's so, great if that is what you want and can afford.   But maybe he'd be very happy if you cooked him a meal, and you took him to a museum.  When my older relatives come to town, I enjoy taking them to the National Cryptologic Museum (north of Laurel MD).  It is free, relatively uncrowded, and a really interesting museum.

Try to think of alternatives, that will be just as much fun or even better, than spending money.[/quote]
