Has this ever happend to you? You want to buy something but you hold off because you think you don't have enough money. But later on, you realize when it's too late, that you actually had enough money to buy whatever it was you wanted to get?

yes ... and i learned my lesson. if it seems like a great deal, and i could buy it ... i will.

i passed on a few OEM Accord kits on eBay a few years ago. they were selling for only $200 for the entire kit. i never got it, and then purchased it from h & a for $500 about 4 months later.

if i were to pass on the h & a deal, i'd be screwed. the kit is now over $1000 again.

The way I see it....I make money to spend it and keep me happy. I don't splurge myself every time, but I know when to spend wisely. I don't think I've ever regretted being cheap...then again...maybe that's why I am poor...LOL

My Kramer electric... it was a $70 guitar and sounded like one. I could have spent $150 and got a nice Squier Strat.
