I just finished paying off a CC that I ran up by buying lights and batteries. The wife wasn't supportive of my "habit". I have since created a budget and pretty much restricted myself to BLF special edition lights since the pay off. These lights are usually affordable and wont be around very long hence the "need' for them.
With the exception of the groomsmen gift I’ve budgeted about 50 to 75 per month, however if 1 month I only spend 35 the next I can spend 75 and so on, but yes I’ve also limited myself to the BLF lights
Yep, sometimes it takes some time to sink in and sometimes it seems like “it won’t happen to me”, but sooner or later, it always does. Kind of fun to watch it happen to others, especially when you know it’s coming.
