You never fail to crack me up.
Great advice. Waiting to Black Friday before doing a spending spree makes total sense. For me, I felt I had probably 30 seconds to make a decision before I would give into temptation.

I'm happy to say that my freakish run of luck ended on a positive note.
Turns out the most difficult part of my plan was avoiding signing into this site...
I was paid today and after logging into my bank for the 42nd time and finally seeing the money credited, I followed my plan by immediately logging into Amazon & Ikea to submit my orders.
Ever since hitting that win I've felt total stress as to whether or not I will make the right decision. I started wishing I didn't even win at all which might sound crazy. It felt like Gragatoon himself was sitting on my chest, but the moment I clicked "submit" on my orders, I was free.
I can now finally relax knowing I done the right thing and can look forward to all the goodies arriving in the mail.
I can honestly say that feeling of knowing you done the right thing is 100 times greater than when you won the money. After I hit that win I said I was in shock, and that feeling never went away until today when I clicked submit.
I decided to go the home entertainment route so I'll come back with a before and after pic. I'm hoping that the next time you guys experience the luck I did, it will also inspire you to do the right thing and spoil yourselves with the winnings.
I appreciate all of you who took the time to read my rant. I was really questioning myself as to if I will give into temptation or not. I just feel it's so import to say things how they are rather than pretend to oneself that they are above it, even if that risks embarrassing yourself.
I like to think that some of you guys understood exactly how I was feeling and I am just so happy right now that for once in my life I done the right thing by not giving back the money I won, but deciding to spoil myself instead.
