Sara's Bad habit #5,467
When I want something, I can be obsessive. I research extensively. I check reviews. I find the best price within a geographical area. I walk into a situation dangerously informed. I annoy everyone in my general hearing about details and facts and the current watched items on the market.
And then I talk myself out of it.
The current object of desire is a Camaro. Those who follow my livestreams will note the reoccuring theme of Camaro. I thought it was beyond my means, until power shopper came into play. I found I could get more than I expected for less than I thought... and I even qualified for the loan. I know every car in my price range within 100 miles (no joke) and the features. I know the finance rates for several different time lengths and tiers. Right now, there's a deep red one with black stripes in CT that just had a reduction in price that's about everything I want (would rather it was black w/white). I have a little cash right now....
However.... my other car has not been paid off and I won't trade it in... we really like the HHR and would rather trade the Truck. There's not so much left on it, but to pay it off now would mean a double $$ expenditure of cash.
I don't *need* this. There's things in the house that need fixing. Rationally, I know this. Rationally, I know that deals will be there in March when the car is paid off. A responsible person would handle the needs before the wants.
Thusly, I talk myself out of it.
