Was in Media Mark to pick up a new arm for my Sat Nav and what do I see 50 feet in front of me A 200 inch (yes that's correct) flat screen TV Gorgeous was abit of understatement, of course the price tag 79,000€ was a bit out of my price range but behind it were a wall of beautiful flat screens, all around the 700€ price range, more in my budget. Was talking with a friend back in Canada who told me his kids were content with there old TV till they started visiting friends with flat screens and now, surprise surprise they want one as well. One day we'll get one, but first will be another hard drive DVD recorder, ours we bought used just died. Oh I know the feeling, that’s all you see these days.

Well, I do plan on making a mighty good payment this month towards debt and while I know it will feel good...I hope that TV leaves me alone! LOL. D - Very true, our main form of entertainment is the TV. We rent cheap movies and just watch them at home. Our other entertainment is nature but all of us aren't home at the same time except for weekends. We only have one car. I don't remember when VCR's or Microwaves came out, but I was around for Computers and DVDs. They sure did come down in price quickly once manufactures were able to make things cheaper. And, our cable only costs $15.45/month :) NCN – Glad to hear I’m not alone!

Just like my family, even with cable costs it is still the cheapest form of entertainment we have. Hold strong and don't buy - I am trying this too. Pay off your debt then save for this purchase, the whole time remember what happened with VCR's & Microwaves when they first came out. Or are you too young? Anyway, when they came out they were soooo expensive then after a couple years the price started declining. This will happen for those beautiful t.v.'s too. At least this is my plan. I will pay off my debts and save my nickels and in the long run save dollars too. -d Hi Tricia, I know why they keep calling you to purchase, because your main entertainment is the T.V.

This is NCN... I just read your post about the tv, and I have to say that I deal with the same stuff! My solution? Go in the opposite direction! Say what? Get rid of some stuff, sell some stuff, ebay some stuff... do whatever it takes to knock out a big chunk of debt... i have found that I get the same "rush" when I pay off a debt or put some savings away as I used to when I bought something... reverse psychology? I don't know... plus, there's really nothing all that awesome on tv anyway... at least nothing as awesome as the feeling of being debt free... stay strong! ncn Hey! This is NCN…
