Spending money makes me feel good, especially when I feel a little down.  I realize that with the state of today’s economy I should really control how much I spend.  I am grateful to be employed during these tough times, but you never know what the future holds.  I try to save as much money as I can, but sometimes you want a little happiness in your life.  Perhaps buying the latest technical gadget will make me happy, if only for a week or so.  I went ahead and bought the IPAD, and every now and then it still makes me happy.
