So folks, I did it. I bought this thing<\/a>, and it’s coming as early as tomorrow. I want to say “OMG OMG!! SO HYPE!! I CAN’T SLEEP!!”.. at least I would<\/em> be like this if<\/span> I had more confidence in my system’s specs (as in, have hardware from last year, instead of 5-7 years ago). But I’ve already said my peace on this multiple times.
\nThis blog post is about how in the hell I was able to actually afford it. And at the end, I’ll have a bank balance barely in the black (by the end of the month). So yeah, I actually decided to sit down and crunch the numbers; taking my current bills and comparing them to any that have been paid.
\nI also went ‘back in time’ to last year, in order to verify if there was a surprise bill. Because I remember last year, being nearly fucked by one.<\/p>\n

Everything looked very promising. Even more so, is the price of the set had gone down since I put it in the wish list (to $179.99.. and seems to still be going down even after purchasing it). This was a $20 savings for me. And with how chaotic this month has been for me, I hope this thing is going to make up for all of that hell I went through.
\n–
\nSomething could still fuck me over, though. And that’s this $27.81 I’m supposed to get back from Best Buy. I was told it would be 2-3 days, which means either by tomorrow or Monday, I’ll have it back in my bank.
\n…And if I don’t<\/em> get it, I’m fucked (as the final bill will be more than I currently have in my account). Though I hope (and pray) that these fears aren’t realized. Just, how not many things have been going my way, I feel worried.<\/p>\n
