So, a piece of horse equipment I really wanted just became available (very bad timing) and it will be a while before one comes along again. It costs approximately two times my mortgage payment. I do not need it in order to survive, but it would make my life much easier. Do I: (a) pass it up and wait 6 months for another one to float ashore and remain fiscally responsible; (b) buy it on my credit card and hope next month isn't like this month; (c) remind my parents that my birthday is approaching and beg and plead until they buy it for me to shut me up; (d) start hocking the rare lunchboxes and replacing them with new knock-offs. My gut tells me to pass it up, but my horse(s) would be much happier if I got it.

Sell the lawnmower and have the horse graze on your lawn when it's born. Buy the riding equipment. Hope the SAAB holds out long enough for the horse to grow large enough for you to commute on horseback, obviating the need for a new car. And sell the effing lunchboxes, just because.
