Oh, wow. Cons are expensive. Go local!
14 years ago
So I go to pay my credit card bill this month. I was expecting it to be pretty big because I put all of Furfright and a few hydroponics arrays on it in the course of the month. Heh, I was a bit shocked at $2,500. Niiiice. Oh well that's why I have a job and save up for nice things with fun money and don't buy stupid shit on a whim. *cough*nerfguns*cough* Ok ok, except Nerf guns.
Nothing felt quite as awesome as being able to pay that in full too. Credit card is at a zero balance. October and November are costly months for me too. Furfright(CHEAP!), Car insurance for the next 6 months, car registration, new tires, license renewal this year, oil tank filled, furnace serviced... and black friday. *crosses arms* and not a financial fuck was given that month.
PS: I'm not going to MFF this year. Not because I can't afford to go. I'm not going because certain temptations at MFF in years past have left me fatter and poorer and frankly it's not worth it to pay a few hundred bucks so I can drink and eat excessively and then feel like a moron for a week afterwards shedding the 10lbs I put on.
PPS: I've also found that local events are far more rewarding, less stressful, and are far less prone to the "embiggening" effect cons have. I think I'm gonna try to do more of those in the future. Which will be hard since I'm pretty much everywhere already. Reaching for that star!
