So I finally saved up enough money to get some proper glasses. As you may or may not have known, I have been straining my eyes with these old contacts for a while now. So I feel accomplished that I was finally able to go out and get glasses that I wanted. Well, go out online and purchase these glasses. I found a sale which costed me like $138.00. It made me realize all these people that say they got glasses for like $20 must be liars or don't have a glasses dependency like I do or maybe I am not as good of a deal hunter like I thought. I need my glasses for everything reading, walking, watching everything. So, I am here to say if you keep on looking for good glasses that are gonna cost $20 you probably wont find them, honestly. When you are looking for glasses, you are looking for frames, lenses, probably very thin lenses depending on how weak your eyes are and all the icing on top like glare resistance and anti scratch stuff, you need it (This generation is not known to be gentle with our items).
The fact is when I or any broke person spends money, it needs to be used with a lot of consideration so that these one pair of glasses will last you for a long while until you face the fact that you MUST now change your glasses. In my case one of my glasses handles broke off and couldn't be fixed so of-course living my sad life, I had to wait months to actually be able to afford a new pair. Knowing how I am such a self proclaimed cheap ass, I was so embarrassed to say how much I paid for these glasses because I only hoped it would be like 50 bucks but my friend made me aware of the fact that glasses are not cheap and I actually got a really good deal.
Most importantly - How I knew I could finally afford these glasses;
I put 10% of my paycheck in savings
I paid my monthly bills (things to take care of)
I would have at-least $100 left back in my checkings account
AND WAS ABLE TO AFFORD MY GLASSES!
TIP of the DAY: Be cheap but don't be dumb, money is supposed to be spent but make sure its for worthwhile causes even if its a game for your cousin that probably cost way more than you would like. I mean I never bought the kid a gift in his life which is pretty damn sad so I splurged a little...fact is do a budget EVERY-TIME!
******Planned splurges hurt way less than impulsive splurges.
