Not Broke

I woke up this morning to some rather refreshing news.  Yes my financial world is crashing down on me, yes I have bad shopaholic habit to kick, yes I have 30,000+ dollars of student loans and credit card debit.

But now, I also have a $199 Apple gift card! Yay!

I won a contest held by Akatoo.com. It was supposed to be for an Apple iPhone (but the fine print said a $199 voucher). So naturally, I thought it would be an AT&T voucher. But nope! Excitement! It’s for the apple store!

I love Apple. I’m a PC person myself -mostly because I can’t ever afford anything Apple-related. BUT now that I have a gift card I can FINALLY afford to get an iPod!  I would have just gotten the iPhone, but I don’t have AT&T and really – Sprint has given me such a fabulous deal, that I could never break away from them. 

Anyway. 

I’m getting an iPod! I’m so excited. Last week I had to resist at full strength buying an iPod on Ebay. See, microsoft was offering 30% cashback on Ebay-buy-it-now-paypal-purchases. So I thought, well, I’ll never get a better deal than that.

Fortunately I resisted. And a few days later I get this gift card! I’m so excited… now my problem is how to keep it under $200… hmm…
