I want to buy a laptop, but a good one will cost about $1000. im a heavy spender and the most i have ever saved was $300. Any good tips on how to hold myself back from spending the money? im a teenager i have about $50 i dont really have to spend. because i have tons of clothes and stuff! i get about $200 on my birthday and $300 at christmas. I want to buy the laptop right after boxing day, so it will be cheaper... my guestimate, is i will have about $650 (maybe less, maybe more) and that should let me buy a good laptop at sale price, but how can i keep myself from spending it?
