I just spent just about all my work-study money to buy stuff...

<p>I saved it all up for the semester and bought:</p>

<p>80 GB Zune
Nintendo DS
Chrono Trigger
Beyerdynamic DT-660 headphones
headphone amp</p>

<p>Mind you, I've never celebrated Christmas. While I feel great that I have this stuff, another part of me feels like a huge piece of ****. I spent about $500 on myself, but only because everything there is an investment (surely itll last a few years). But still, it's kinda surreal that I spent this kind of money on myself (my family isnt rich, so I've always been pretty frugal). With the next check I get, I'm pretty sure I'll have enough for books next semester, so it isnt really over-indulging, no?</p>

<p>Also, before someone calls it, I'm not trying to gain pity from anyone (after all, what I have above is awesome). I just wonder why I feel so weird about it.</p>

<p>Chrono Trigger is always a good investment. ;)</p>

<p>Soulside Journey's right! Did they re-release Chrono Trigger for the DS or something? I haven't played CT in ages.</p>

<p>Yeah, don't feel so bad. It's only money.</p>

<p>If it was me, I'd feel really guilty, but I don't like buying things for myself. I bought a 180$ television for my dorm room and it was AGONIZING. FWIW, I just worked this semester (medical issues) so I made a good amount of money. For $500 I'd rather invest the money into a mutual fund, that's about the only thing I really put money in. If you invest $100 per month for 10 years and make 8% that is 80,000 with compounded interest...</p>
