Despite my frugality, I've decided to go with the 1080P 50" Plasma I want. I'm going to the high end, despite my better judgment. Haven't bought a TV for over a decade, figured I should get the one I really want :) I’m waiting to buy that TV I want. Despite my frugality, I’ve decided to go with the 1080P 50″ Plasma I want.

Blad Monkey: You can always put it in a high yield savings account or invest it. In the long run, you will get more money to buy more stuff with it.

I got $300 for my birthday. What to do with it. I have been planning on buying a new LCD monitor for my computer and finally dumping the old CRT. I can get it for around $250. But, I don't actually need it. Being a tightwad, I am now struggling with whether I want to spend the cash for the new toy, or put it in my savings account and just sit on it until my CRT finally dies. This is the downside to getting money as a gift, I always struggle with what to do with it. :o( I am in this boat right now. I got $300 for my birthday. What to do with it.

I would also add that a great aid in controlling your impulsive buying urges is to consider how long you have to work for that item you are thinking of buying... that sort of perspective really makes you think twice about buying something - anything ;-) You make some great points David.
