I've been flip flopping around many different things to save my money up for (mainly between useful electronics and school), but the latest thing I've been looking into is getting my first HDTV. I had originally planned on getting a 32 inch that would pretty much be for my use, but my dad came up with the idea of chipping in to get a 40 inch, so when my parents wanted to watch a really nice movie on it (though I would've gladly watched a movie with them on my TV anyway, unless I was gaming lol). So I've been looking around for them, and pretty much found a good one, but it seems that every time I get more excited about it, something happens with my parents that involves them needing to use money to repair something. The latest problem now is that one of the side-view mirrors on one of my parent's cars came off (some lady knocked it out supposedly), so I'll be waiting a bit for the TV (I don't think my dad wants me to buy it myself). EDIT: Forgot to say that I'm ultimately saving up money for my school books/supplies. So what are you guys currently going to be getting/saving up for?

Seriously considering purchasing a new car, a trade-in plus cash for the remainder, so I don't have to get a loan.

Gaming related would be the Wii U. Supposedly launching this November 18th 2013. Apparently So a $50.00 deposit at gamestop/EB games and just pay it off between So that is $350 if I put 50 dollars a between May-November. Plus the original $50 deposit. $400.00 to buy the system and a game.

Makes launch day seem less painful.

I'll probably start doing that after pretty much upgrading my console status (new 360, maybe a PS3 for the Blu-ray player, and of course the TV lol), unless something more important comes up, 'cause I'm sure my parents will want me to start saving up for a car sooner or later.

Oh, so you're saying video games, HDTVs, monitors, computers, ipads, and consoles are all NEEDS, in comparison to my 'need' to go to disneyland again? Common sense would tell you that NEED is not being used in the same severity as "new kidneys" or "air, water and food".

When the hell did I say I NEEDED anything? I know that I NEED food, water, air, shelter, and space, but I know damn well that I really WANT a new TV, consoles, and gaming PC :P. Don't take it too offensively that I pointed this out. I've just grown to what my friend's dad use to say, "You don't NEED it, you WANT it," and for some reason it's been stuck in my mind since. Though it is fun to point it out to people all the time lol.

I didn't say you. Everyone else is saying all these other non-essential things that they're going to get/want/'need', and you choose me to pick at when you know damn well my post is no different than theirs, except for one word which you figure that is worth pointing out. You know exactly what I meant and still chose to poke at it for no reason other than to be annoying.

Just bought a house, and I now need to buy a lawnmower and string trimmer. Going electric I think since I hate the smell of the fuel mixture and forgetting to get gas and then run out of gas only cutting like a third of the yard.

Never understood why people hate iTunes so much. This coming from a guy (me) who doesn't see the point in someone choosing a Mac over a PC, but I find iTunes to be extremely useful (I don't buy music off it, but since it definitely works, even though I just use it for my iPod, and just playing music on my laptop).

ITunes is fine for smaller libraries...But when they get too large the software just can't handle it. It's also an enormous resource hog (especially on PCs) which gets exponentially worse with large libraries.

Huh. Guess my library (can't remember how many songs are on it) isn't that big after all, but I have definitely not seen any problems with it at all. And by "resource hog," are you talking about RAM and overall CPU usage? 'Cause I'll have to look into that for myself lol.

My library is over 200GB when counting videos too, about 150GB in songs. Both RAM and CPU, but CPU usage is what gets me the most.

I've been debating on getting a bench press. Also, want the DMC HD collection and Xenoblade Chronicles but I'll wait for thise to be cheaper. Other than that, theres nothing I want in particular.
