Money: Saving, Spending, Goals, etc.
God, I hate money. Actually, I don't hate money, I hate the associated headache.

As you can see, I now have 2 fund counters in my sig. One is for the $500 80GB PS3/Metal Gear Solid 4 bundle. The other is for the $999 Wacom Cintiq 12WX tablet display. The PS3 I want to get because when I leave for college it will be the only game system I can take with me. The Cintiq I want to get because I want to be a professional artist, and it's a tool for professionals.

So basically I have $1500 to save up. It's better than it was before, because I'd have had to save about $4000 if my entire extended family hadn't been so nice and promised me a Macbook Pro as a graduation present. They wanted me to have a laptop like that for when I go to art college.

The problem with this whole thing is this: I don't have the time for a steady job. I have school, plus Stage Tech, plus make up school work I have to do in packets. I simply don't have the time for a part-time job. So I'm stuck doing odd jobs for money around my neighborhood for the time being. Actually, this whole thing has made me consider not going to college until Spring Semester next year, and use this fall to work full-time and make some money. GAH!! This whole thing is too complicated. I'm gonna go to the bank now and get my $100 deposited and then maybe get some Cafe Rio, then enjoy the rest of my day off WisCrybabyIfSmokinggBored

I'm saving for a laptop. i plan to spend no more than £400 ($800ish) and so far the one that fits the bill the best so far is this:

http://h10010.www1.hp.com/wwpc/uk/en/ho/...mc_psg_hho

so far i have £35ish ($70ish) and i need £400. i want to buy it before october this year as I'm going off on a school trip/holiday to new york and want to take it with me.

i'd like a ps3 but... its so expensive. i know its insanely good value for money but do i need one?

My parents are like that, but not my Aunt and Grandma. I can count on them.

And the PS3 is positively orgasmic. Everyone must get one lol

How much time does your extra circular activities take out of your week?  If it isn't too much, I'm sure you can fit in a part time/casual job if you organize your time a bit.
You can also cut some corners a bit - for example, do you really need to pass school on a high grade?

No, I don't need to pass school on a high grade, but I'm struggling to pass it at all right now. I would have been able to squeeze it all in if the store by my house had accepted my job application, but they passed over me for some blonde chick.
