So this post has been several days in the making. I had this epiphany driving home a few days ago. To be clear these are "wants" not "needs". So without further ado here is the list.
1) a nice surround sound system to go with our tv. average price on amazon $300
2)the awesome cobalt flux ddr pad. regular price on best buy.com $300
3)getting my current used flute repaired. $300
4)a nicer used couch/sofa to replace our loveseat that is falling apart. probably around $300
5)a new back door with a screen door. might be able to get it around $300
6) my new obsession http://www.wholelattelove.com/Gaggia/new_baby.cfm a refurbished very nice espresso machine $310 ...said new obsession will get its own post later.
7)Pennsic XXXVIII pre-registration plus gate fees for 2 adults $330.
Ron insists that there is a reason that my wants are $300. He says that the $250+ is just expensive enough to keep us from buying the THING with out some serious planning ahead. I would counter by saying that I still haven't bought the $120 pair of Birkenstock shoes that i have wanted since I bought my first pair of Birkenstocks last year.
That's a great wish list! If you are a coffee enthusiast, buying your own espresso machine is the way to go. At my old work, there was one customer who was there at least once a day and often 2 or 3 times. She bought a 24 oz drink and tipped, so her minimum came to $5. That's ringing in at about $2000 per year on COFFEE. That makes the $300 machine sound pretty good! I think I'd get registered for Pennsic first!
