Reply #49: Thrift stores

I saw something in the TV about how places like Goodwill have quite a few TV's because of the transition to digital. I thought about going there to see if I could find a good deal on a small TV because one of mine died, but somehow I thought it was wrong to go there if I could afford to shop elsewhere. I'm not rich certainly, but do ok - a lot better than plenty of people.

I'd feel better about it though if I knew the money was going to a good cause and I did just donate a bunch of stuff there - trying to clean my house.

One thing this economic crisis has shown me is how much I spend on things I don't need - which is why I have no emergency money saved - I could have had money saved but I don't and hopefully it's not too late. It is just to easy to charge things, unfortunately, in a way - figure I'll pay for it later - though I do pay my bill off every month.
