decisions, decisions

I mentioned the other day that one of my Christmas gifts was a nice little check. Primarily it's going into a reserve fund to help in my ongoing quest to help in my quest to pay down debt. However, it's also always tempting to spend some when I have cash in hand.

1. I'm extremely tempted by the Soda Stream. There's a model available for @ $80.00 at Best Buy. Plus I have a $25.00 gift card for BB. I'm intrigued by the idea of making soda at home and buying a little less of it. But I've not tasted what the the Soda Stream makes, so I'm a little hesitant.

2. Or, I also saw the Wii at BB for @ $150.00. Plus the aforementioned gift card. I'm sorely, sorely tempted by this one. I'm feeling reluctance to break the $100.00 threshold on any "for fun" purchase these days. I would not be surprised if I can talk myself into it, though.

3. The prudent (and most boring) option, of course, is to be an adult and just bank that money. Hey, it could happen.

Being an adult with on a budget is not nearly as fun as being an adult without budget concerns would be...

I am also deeply tempted by the soda stream. Fresh Diet Coke whenever I want it? Oh, yeah... :D

...But, there are plenty of other things which I must use that money for first :p
