On Curbing Video Game Lust

I have a problem. My problem is that even when I’m on a tight budget, I have a hard time keeping myself from spending money on the things that I really want. Not buying ice cream? Easy enough. Eating lots of inexpensive food like apples and beans? Easy. Stopping myself from buying a Wii? Hard.
I don’t play that many video games, but the few that I do bother to play I really enjoy. In particular, I’m in love with the Halo and Zelda series. But I’m on a budget. And the fact that I have neither a Wii nor an X-Box means that it wouldn’t be a matter of $50 on a game (which would still be too much). Instead it would be more like $300.
So what do I do to keep my hard earned money from exchanging itself for a game console?*
- Keep myself away from places that talk about the latest and greatest in gadgets and gaming
- Stay away from the software and gaming aisles in Wal-Mart
- Recognize the fact that I only have time to play one game well at a time and that I’m already playing it (Command and Conquer 3 if you care to know)
- Think about the fact that there are probably only a couple of games for each console that I would find worth playing
Do any of you have similar problems?
* Yes, if it happened it would be the money acting of its own accord. I would have absolutely nothing to do with it. Because, after all, I would never do such a thing knowing that Young disapproved.
It is my belief that mesothelioma is usually the most lethal cancer. It’s got unusual qualities. The more I actually look at it the greater I am sure it does not behave like a real solid tissue cancer. In case mesothelioma can be a rogue virus-like infection, then there is the chance of developing a vaccine and also offering vaccination for asbestos subjected people who are vulnerable to high risk regarding developing long run asbestos relevant malignancies. Thanks for discussing your ideas for this important health issue.
