The boys are coming to Australia! \o/

Arck! I am ridiculously excited but also massively torn. I live in Perth so I'll have to fly to Sydney to attend. Luckily most of my family live there so seeing them again (I've already booked to go in April to celebrate my daughter's 18th and to see my new niece) will be an added bonus. But, dammit. The money. It's not that we don't have it (exactly), it's more about spending it on a luxury when there are so many more things I could (should!) be spending it on. My hubby has supported my fandom life for the last 10 years (with some ups and downs), but this one is gonna push it (The eye rolling is off the scale!). We're in the process of opening a small bar, so spending $800 to see a couple of (gorgeous!) TV stars…

*sigh*

(I seriously need to adopt the "what the hell, it's just money!" attitude…;D)

I was in the exact same situation, re: the money. I felt like it was selfish to spend the money on something that not only was a luxury, but a fleeting luxury that was *just for me*. But then I started saving up little by little, birthday money, babysitting money, loose change, etc. and while I was waiting for silver tickets to go on sale, I ended up saving enough money to buy the gold tickets (NJ CON).

Literally one day after I dropped the $750 on my tickets, our roof failed (7 feet of snow will do that to a roof) and now my house is crawling with contractors handing me bills left and right. And guess what??? I DON'T REGRET IT AT ALL!!

When you save up little by little (literally kept it rolled up in a sock in my skivvies drawer), you don't miss it at all.

GOOD LUCK!! YOU GO!!!

Hey hun! Thank you! It's not that I don't have the money (exactly - I mean, the credit card is loaded because of the bar venture so there's not much breathing space), it's more that I just feel guilty spending it on something like this. I lack that wonderful attitude so many people have of "just do it!".

But yeah, I have been thinking about ways I can justify it and I think working an extra day (I don't work Fridays) might be my way of doing that. I'd only have to work 3 Fridays and it'd be paid for….Hmmmmm…..

Thanks again hun!
