No Money!

So I have been looking around for good deals for the holiday season. I have found a few but I am broke. I am getting a little sick of this. I have actually thought of keeping a small amount of money for when I come across really good deals. I would have to stop myself from spending it unless it was a really good deal, and one I could afford. The great things about the deals that I am finding is that they are gifts I wanted to buy anyway, and was possibly not going to be able to afford them. Don't you hate it when you find a good deal and don't have any money?

Oh yes that is rather frustrating. Of course, I always have an emergency back up more often than not. However finding a good deal does not qualify as an emergency. Well seriously speaking it might not be. Still there are going to be a lot of times where I see something but I either don't have money or even worse, I am like about two or three dollars short of the mark. So yeah, that is an unfortunately realization that many are going to have to make. There are just times where you're going to run a bit short on the cash. That is just going to be something that is going to be a part of the life that I am going to live. Money doesn't seem to really move as fast as I would like it to into my pocket but such is the world we live in today.

Yes I realize that it is not a emergency. I have thought of having two "funds". One for emergencies and one for really good deals. The only thing I am afraid of with the really good deals fund is that I would end up spending my money too fast. I would need to be very careful and only get the deal if it is really that good!

I hate that, but I also hate when I buy something that I think is a good deal and a week or two weeks later at the same store it's a few bucks off or even just a few cents. It's like ahhh, I wish I'da known that was going to happen before!

hello, yeah, how bad it was when you cant even buy what you really wanted because you have no money in your pocket or you dont have enough money. Wow! I hate it! hardly hate it when you actually want to get thing from sale but you just cant! I cant even say to my mom that I need this because i know she will just say that I am just wasting money.

I understand how you feel,it feels bad when we see deal and don't have money to buy,what it would be good is to have always a money apart that we don't spend until we find a real good deal.

Thanks. Yeah sometimes we have to let the great deals pass, just because we don't have the money for it! It sucks but it is reality for a lot of us!

hi o2bnocn thats the thing I am always running into is great buys and no money., lol It would be great if we found great deals when we did have some money. I have just forty points for mysurvey and I will get to have a ten dollar check. I can use that this holiday season for sure.I also am sick of being broke after spending most of my money paying damned bills.so heres hoping we both have money when we find these great deals.

I am always in a state that can never be bought, what I want. I am sometimes very sad face this situation. But, there's nothing I can do. Do not have money, it means not buying.
