This is the thread in which you admit you have a wallet problem. I'll go first...
Credit card for November came today. I just realized I bought four keyboards in one month, one of them Korean. And this just one month after buying a Realforce and financing my own custom pad.
Ouch, dudes.
-
Yeah....credit card statements....I'm like it's only 4 or 5 pages....then I realize....they print on both sides :eek:
-
This is why I'm glad there's a $300 limit on my card...
-
This is why I'm glad I no longer own a credit card.
FTFY. The way I look at things now is if I can't save up for it then I obviously don't want it that much. Means I've bought a lot less useless crap over the last couple of years since getting rid of mine.

I'm with bueller. My credit is so far gone, that I don't even bother applying.
All keyboards and accessories have been purchased with cash. :eek:

Buying only what you are able to pay for.

I never carry credit on my card. I pay off every bill at the end of the month. Using the card in this way is very convenient, doesn't get me in trouble, and lets me easily track how I spend my money. So I have the money, I just spend a little too much of it on clicky things.

^^ +1 exactly this.....except my wife spends too much of it....what I spend is menial in comparison
I've never carried a balance over in the many, many years of having credit cards....
Actually I have a credit card only I use...then there is another one we both use but I rarely use it so it's mostly her spending....

I thought this thread was about admitting you have a keyboard problem - and I came here ready to admit it. But now I'll never admit it. NEVER!

Today I learned: jdcarpe is an expert at making it rain. One day I'll be as cool as JD...one day.

A good step towards privacy! Also it's cool that you sold all your guns!

I bet your real name isn't even jdcarpe is it?? :eek:

I am with jd and bueller. I have not had a credit card since 2006. I have gotten used to the fact that if I don't have the cash for something, I don't get it.

Man, I really need to show this to my girlfriend...

Yeah, spent 1000 Euros on keyboards in November. **** me. I gonna hide my wallet from myself. :eek:
-
Dropped $600 cash on keyboards and accessories in my first month. Had to do Christmas presents so taking a short break but then back to keyboards!
-
PFFT, ya'll are rookies. Check *this* out:
About $5.00/post. Please, no one post my total. It's too disturbing to look at.
From this thread (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=44863.0).

Maybe $2/post :eek:

Not just keyboards, everything. Grew up poor as **** so whenever I get 'big' checks, some part of me always feels like I need to spend that cash into things before it disappears which I realize in retrospect is a catch 22. I'm such a bad Jew :-[
-
I'm 16 and taking advice from this thread
Is that bad?

I'm the opposite. Grew up the same way but now I feel like I need to save everything instead of enjoying a little of the money I worked hard to earn. Learning to loosen up was hard.

I've only had two credit cards in my life. And I maxed both out the same weekend in vegas.
Who knew hookers accepted visa?

My credit card is for emergencies. Also, if I forget to transfer money to my checking account (I have a debit card) then I can use my credit card without getting hit with fees. And with a $250 limit on the credit card it's pretty easy to not use it.

I've gotten my paypal back to the amount it had when I started coming here.
But then I checked my bank account and its empty :(

You're doing it wrong demik. One CC for hookers...one CC for blow.

I'd do that, but AMEX gives me 3% cash back on the blow and only 1% on the hookers. Gotta get your priorities straight you know what I mean. It's all about that cashback.
-
i just get the whole 4% from one card and dont have to deal with multiple bills.
cmon akimbo, this ain't my first Hodeo.

Luckily I sold a domain name for $750. Then I promptly blew it all on keyboards and keycaps.
At least my visa is paid off. :)
