Have you ever walked through a store and come down an aisle and see some little kid all red in the face, saying ” I want it right now!” Well that is kind of how I feel. My current TV is almost 10 years old and the picture tube is starting to go. I can’t tell you how many times I surfed over to the Amazon website and looked the the Sony XBR LCDs and Samsung models, I just can’t bring myself to buy one(yet).

I have also considered following my own advice and canceling TV, currently the monthly payments do not hurt me and are within my budget, I do not have any debt other than my mortgage and a car payment, if I had one smidge of debt other that these two items you bet TV service would have been long gone.

This brings me to the real point of this post, how many times do we really really want something, but do we really need it? I know I fight these urges and I bet many of you feel the same way.

What are some of the other things that I have really been interested in? The Ipod Touch, a mac book pro and a few other gadgets.

In the coming weeks I hope to write more and more about my thoughts on personal finance. Am I am expert on the topic of personal finance? No, likely not, I am constantly researching finance related topics and expanding my skills. I do have a lot to share with you though, I have been reading and writing about personal finance for many months and I also worked for one of the major(top five) banks in the world.

I will be putting a comments section on the blog so you can suggest topics about things you would like to see me write about. I am truly and here to serve you.
