Champagne tastes on a boxed wine budget: can you relate?

I am thinking of selling/swapping out my current Core i5, Z68, 8Gb DDR 3 combo. The only time I ever had a justifiable reason for upgrading was when my 133Mhz Pentium no longer cut the mustard. The rest have been through force of habit and, for a time, because we used to be paid incentives. So.....I would splurge on hardware every two to three years whether it was necessary or not. I would also buy games that were on sale and never touch them again. I think that I should take a couple of steps down to more modest hardware [have already sold my Radeon HD 6870], and work through my back catalogue without the distraction of messing around with the latest games.

I have been similarly stupid with my cellphone. Almost two years ago, I signed up for a Cell C ControlChat 100 contract for R80 a month because I was seduced by the idea of owning something as [relatively speaking] fancy as a Samsung Star [this is coming from someone who was previously in the R120 or less mobile device category...] What I find has happened is though I am sending many more SMSes than I used to, and using the internet a fair amount, I still hardly ever make voice calls, and so usually end up rolling over to R200-R300 a month before I forfeit it.

I don't feel comfortable with this at all.

Some context: I take home R2900 a month.

Keep it. Atleast it will last. :) I can understand though. All my money these days is taking my gf out.

Good morning. What a horrible weekend. Power went out Friday morning at 06:00...came back Saturday night at 21:00. I have never been so bored in my life.

That one of those times it pays not to live with your girlfriend as you can go crash at her place. I once spent 3 months without a working TV/laptop/gaming device of any kind. I read ALOT of books.

BTW Dredd is FUCKING AWESOME!!!! And if you are from Cape Town you are in for a treat, some of the shooting locations are immediately recognisable and will jump right out at you. Over all the movie captures Dredd and the world he inhabits perfectly IMO and the violence is deliciously gory. (If your sqeemish avoid this film.) It wont win any awards for outstanding plot and there are a few flow issues but overall one of my favourite movies so far this year.

Bah...I actually had to study out of boredom on Saturday.

Really keen on seeing Dredd, seeing some really good buzz of it around the interwebs.
