$2,000.
This of course causes the little angel and demon to appear on shoulder and start whispering.
Angel: Dude, that’d help get you back on track with your credit card payments, so you can get a phat gaming system later. Maybe a Wii … eventually.
Demon: Ignore the pansy on your other shoulder, get yourself a blazing WoW machine … NOW!
Likely, they’ll each get their cut, and it looks like I can get a spanky WoW machine for considerably less than $2k.
Neat.
wow is 5 year old technology.
you can get a blazing WoW machine for less than $1k and still be able to play all the modern games very well.
Well, yeah. I’m hoping to spend less than $700 (I already have a spanky monitor, that should help). But then again, what other than WoW will I want to play with it? =)
To the angel’s credit, you can multiply the value of your 2k by your credit card interest if you use it to pay down debts, whereas your spanky new computer is likely to get cheaper over time. 🙂
True, and we know how money works: whoever dies with the most, wins. =)
Scottish rule: spend a third, save the rest… best of both worlds.
seems like a reasonable rule.
You need a third, a boring old accountant who says reduce your withholding so you’re not paying obscene credit card interest rates for the privilege of giving the government a $2000 interest-free loan.
This is true. In this particular case, it was the combination of tuition, radically disparate incomes throughout the year, and moving that did it.
Considering that my refund was like $131.47, I think you should consider yourself lucky and at least use part of it to treat yourself.
btw, do I have to turn in my geek license for asking if WoW = World of Warcraft? 😉
You guessed correctly, so you get to keep it. But that is a warning sign. 😉
