I hate bills. Particularly, I hate credit card companies. I owe way too much many to way too many people. Don't get me wrong, I'm not passing blame to anyone for my own irresponsible spending. I've taken full credit for the debt I've gotten myself into, and I'm proud to say that I haven't used a credit card in well over a year. Still, I get mail and phone calls from credit card providers every day. I mean, I know how to shut them up. I just tell them that I think credit card providers are the key players in a national conspiracy to subjugate the American people. They are like wolves.
That whole rant was to say this, on top of my credit cards and other monthly bills such as utilities, I also have a $700+ a month tuition payment. There are times, like now, when it's hard to come up with money for groceries. And there have been many times when we have sold things just to help pay down some of the balances on our cards. Recently, I realized that my PS2 and GameCube could probably fetch some nice money on ebay.
Can you believe it? I have actually considered selling my videogames! Why? I mean sure, it's nice to have money for groceries, but lunch is only enjoyable for a short period of time, and then what? I'm hungry again. Games, on the other hand, last hours, and sometimes days.
I'm not selling my videogames. Some would call it irresponsible. I call it good business sense and great time/resource management.
