A flash sale on the 14th of a month?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who gets paid twice a month, including a check on the 15th. I had 20 Aeon Soul items in my cart just waiting for my paycheck. Then I logged in this morning and my $150 cart was now $350; so I had to emtpy it. Someone should think about the timing of their sales a little better I think. :(

    So bascially you had items in the cart on sale and decided to wait for payday to make a purchase? that is why it's called a flash sale, they don't usually last thru the day. Don't worry, it'll come around again.

    I honestly couldn't imagine spending money on a hobby if I was having to wait for payday to have the money, then again, I get paid once a month.

    I feel guilt.

    If you have a set limit, like for THIS CHECK my Daz-Tithe is 3% or whatever and you break that and say, I'll get back to my limits 'next check' you've got a problem.

    Some have a daily budget, some weekly, some monthly.

    By changing eating habits and cutting out nonsense spending, you can make a decent budget for the week.

    It's a budget thing. I have so much budgeted out of each check for it. And I'd already spent my first half amount. I had money in the account, but was trying to be true to my budget.

    65% off Aeon Soul's catalog of items doesn't happen often though. I was disappointed to miss it.

    It's just how some people choose to budget their money. I have a separate bank account (w/ debit card) for hobby expenses and a $75 automatic transfer to that account each month. That money is to cover games, 3d stuff, hardware, or whatever. This way, my fun money doesn't interfere with food, clothing, shelter, etc. I can 'borrow' money to make an occasional big purchase, but then I pay myself back. There's also a separate account for my car and housing expenses. It's fun, it feels like I'm running my own little government just without nukes (so far).

    But I think it's already been established that most of us have a problem. <Jeff Foxworthy voice> "If you spent more than $500 on a video card and your monitor is plugged into the motherboard's onboard graphics port, you might be a Dazoholic." lol

    I've yet to see a flash sale that lasted overnight. That's where the sales pressure comes from.

    Seems like they used to be during the middle of the week and in the middle of the day, so if you work, you're sure to miss it unless you can check emails on the job. I can't really complain. It's usually nothing I'm interested in.

    Kitsumo-  It's fun, it feels like I'm running my own little government just without nukes (so far).

    I just found this hillarious.
