I've been in your situation and here's my humble advice...

You don't need any of this stuff.

You described all the pre-orders available as "irresistible". Why? It's just stuff. It's nice stuff, but just stuff. You know what's really irresistible? When you're hungry, flat broke, it's 2 days until your next paycheck, and all you have to eat in your apartment is a couple of slices of bologna, and a box of popsicles.

Once you reach the zen of knowing deep down inside that you can actually resist this stuff, then you're in control. You can just chill out and let the universe come to you...

...I've noticed something interesting that's happened to me time and time again over the years; when I've wanted something, and couldn't really afford it at the moment I just waited and eventually I would run across a deal or something and would get it for free, or almost nothing. You can get stuff on sale, at flea markets, from other guys who were stupid and got themselves into trouble and need to sell their paintball guns like right now...there are lots of ways to get what you want without spending a ton of money. All you have to do is have some self control and be patient.

^^ ah, yes, i knew something like this was going to come up, and Jaan, you said it nicely. i have became lucky sometimes just like you said: ill turn down an offer, and soon after, ill come across the same item but for SUCH better deal. But in this case, its a pre-order of something that i'll never come across soon.

Yes, being in the situation of living paycheck by paycheck may have its down side, and i totally understand that point of view because i live by making money from my own business (actually, my parents, but same thing) oppose to paychecks. When i do grow up and move out and live that life-style, i will certainly take that advice into mind. Thank you Jaan.

other than that, im off to pay jay for a pre-order since i managed to accumulate some money.
