Does anyone else have any "planned" purchases that get pushed off because something else keeps coming up? Well, we do. We have been planning to buy one for four years, but it has been put off by buying a house, cars and just general life expenses. It looked like we where going to get a large lump sun (8k or so) pretty soon, so we where going to buy a boat with that. However, that lump sum now looks like it will happen sometimes in the next year..
In the meantime, my husband is calling me a debt nazi; I can think of worse things to be. I don't mind buying a boat with an unexpected lump sum of money, but I don't want to do one with payments.. All of our extra money right now goes to my schooling and bills so while we *could* afford the boat, it would be affording it on payments and I just don't want to do that. Good thing my husband is patient... He is the one that really wants the boat, but is willing to not push it when we have other debt...

a GHD hair straightener. they are $300 - I can't justify spending that much money on something that has only one use. the only time i think i'll ever get it is if i get some kind of lump sum where $300 seems a small amount. which of course, will never happen!
other things that come to mind are a proper winter coat and a slow cooker. weird things, but it's what i put off.
