I finally had to buy one email this discussion to a friend?

We got our stimulus check back on the 6th of July. We paid off some high interest bills, and were gonna save at least 600 dollars of it. Well I had to break down and buy a new computer monitor. We really had to have one, this one didnt come with the new computer, we bought last year, so it is already used and old. It blinks on and off and the color is horrid. Now it was starting to take longer and longer to come on, when first turned on. So we took a trip to wall world and spent 150 on a new fancy flat screen. I hope it lasts as long as the one we currently have. I think my mom had this one for many years, before it became ours. So it definately got lots of use. I dont feel too guilty, because we really do use our computer alot. For school,money making, and just plain fun.

a little treat once in a while never hurt anyone and you have something great to show for your money, its not as if you have waisted it on something you wont use, have fun with your new monitor, you say it is wide screen i was wandering does the whole page of my lot fit on there as it doesnt on my normal screen now they have made the changes

Yes I know, so why do we feel guilty when we treat ourselves? As long as the bills are paid, it shouldnt be such a big deal.

Hi,

It sounds like it was really time to get a new monitor. lol

You have to do what you have to do. I know when my monitor went on the blink, I went down and got one because I didn't want it to go totally dead and then I would have nothing to use. I'm on my computer (and here at MyLot lol) for most of my day and nite and earn money with a number of sites, so being without a computer is a major anxiety attack waiting to happen.

Hope you enjoy your new monitor! happy

Happy MyLotting,
Char

Yes, my husband has been after me for some time to get a new one. I sort of procrastinate when something is so expensive. I really think 150 dollars for a screen is a bit much, but we couldnt find any for less, so that is what I had to buy. It is nice, and so much better.

I hate it when we treat ourselves to something we always have to justify the reasons that we bought something! I do it all the time, I bought it because I needed it and the old one was broke and well, we all get use out of it LOL.

It is daft really, if the money is spare then why do I mither about spending it, but I do! I am glad you treated yourself, it is nice to hear and the flat screen monitors are great it is what I have, a 19 inch one, beautiful. I felt guilty as hell when we bought ours though!!

I know exactly what you mean. We treat our kids, we treat our friends, but we treat ourselves and we are guilty. Doesnt really make much sense.
