Goal Postponement

    Good morning!

     Yesterday, after researching laptop computers, I decided to postpone investing in a laptop this week. It's the end of the month when I calculate my expenditures and review my budget.  Therefore, I need to coordinate my financial situation to see how I might be able to fit a new laptop into a tight budget.  In other words, how much could I afford to pay and how long will it take to pay off a loan?

     I want a laptop, but could I safely afford it and do I actually need one?  What I really want is a reliable, cost effective laptop made in America.  I don't want to pay hundreds of dollars for a high tech machine which will breakdown within one year.

     Compter manufactures whose startups began in the USA, either sold it to a foreign company or have been out sourcing their work to other countries.

     Seriously, I need to approach my spending with caution and consider my most important existing obligations.  At this time in my life, I'm getting my house and finances in order.  Among my highest priorities, are to pay off debt within a year, and then, start a sinking fund for necessary repairs and big ticket items.  Other ambitions and goals should be placed on hold within perspective time limits.

This blog is a prime scenario or example of consumer temptation which is brought on by fear of losing everything; therefore, thinking about a business startup.  This may cause reactive impulsive behavior (RIB) and could become repetitive obsessive behavior (ROB); ultimately, turning into a kinetic impulsive, laughing lunatic (KILL).  This is a serious condition and must be dealt with at 'writers retreat'.
