I want so much in my life that my head is spinning circles around, leaving me a dizzy mess; half believing that there's nothing I can do--nothing to work for. Nothing I could possibly take action to create success for me.
Whatever with that shit!
I calculated on my lunch break today that if I were to buy that 17inch Mac Book Pro as well as the 5d Mark II with my savings, I would need to save for approximately 8 months (to next April) to a sum of at least $6,000. This is all including the bullshit amount of tax (CA charges 8.75% sales tax, which would equate to about $500 just to buy a $3,600 camera). Perhaps I could buy it out of state or something and have it shipped to my house that way. Sales taxes aren't the same in every state, you see.
But can I wait 8 months? I think I can. David brought up a good point the other day, telling me that when I have all the money, and I still want what I've set out to save for--that's a sure sign that I really do want it. But that would mean saving almost every dollar of every paycheck. But damn, do I think that it's worth it. God gave me a set of rules to play by and he gave me this gap. A chunk of time with my job to get what I want. Tuition is paid for, food and housing is paid for by living at home. All I need to really worry about is books or money for outings. But that's all luxury. But then again, so are these expensive items I'm drooling over. Is it worth it? Well--I've got 8 months to figure it all out. Given that I'll be doing my research, keeping up to date--and most likely--the prices will go down.
