Was going to order a few boxes today. One at first, now I see a second I really want. Okay Ive been decent lately not the best but certainly not 900.00 or so like before in a month. I promised the wife along with her promising me the savings would be 10x what is has been in the past because of the economy.(always have forced saving thru are paychecks, but being able to save way more is the key). So basically my Question is have you ever done this type of thinking?
"Well let see I have about 80 bucks in the quaters jar from last year. I know I have about 150. in Play pl account from selling extras on here." "Thats almost 70 percent of the order right there so its not like im really cheating on the budget right!" (And in all seriousness guys I do have savings for at least 9 months in case of emergency if not longer)
So have you guys ever done this type of Russian Roulette thinking?

i definitely have done that. i figure that if i have my bills paid and a decent amount saved up (you seem to have a target you have already reached) then why not spend a little extra money (in quarters and play pal plus a little extra) to get something you want? if you really only need to come up with a little more to get something you want why not do it. life is short.

All the time. There are 3 or 4 things I spend most of my "disposable" income on, so I tend to re-distribute my available $$$ amongst them, depending.

Now this may come as a surprise, but cigars are one of those 3 or 4 things.

Bro I have been doing that since I started this hobby. But Some how I always seem to make it throught the rough times alright. And as far as rough times go I seem to have had quite a few of them these last couple of years.

Nope, never, not me, but it sounds like a great idea. I think I'll give it a try ....... oops too late.
