Savings

Yesterday, my family and I made a trip to Best Buy. I think we are going to break down and buy an iPod. We have the money (well, sorta), but I feel uncomfortable with just forking it out like that. So, I think our new plan is to save up $50 at a time from our paychecks. In doing that, we could save up for an iPod in 2-4 weeks minimum. We'll see how it goes! I'd also like to get one of those iPod docks (which is also a radio and CD player), so we may have to save for a little longer.

I also found out some heartbreaking news at Best Buy.

I've known this in my heart for some time, but our beloved camera is outdated. :(

Not only is it a mere 5 megapixels, but they no longer carry the mini-CDRs, which the camera uses to store its data. We do have a few re-writable CDRs, but...I am using this as an excuse to fullfill my desire to get a new camera.

When we bought this digital camera, years (!) ago, we were very naughty and put all $800 of it onto our credit card. We won't be doing that again! So, we'll see how this first "saving" expenditure goes!
