Just to show just how strong this tech toy addiction is I am going to
be honest about what happened today. I took a day trip with a couple
of great friends to tour some newly constructed houses for the
Homearama 2007 event and had a fun time. In the midst of all this
excitement I still could not shake the notion of having that AT&T Tilt
in my hand, so I called a local store to see if any were in stock.
There were two in stock, but no demo units were set up on display yet.
Immediately I conjured up thoughts of speeding to the store and using
a credit card swipe to walk out with the new device in hand and I
could hardly contain myself.
I took a moment to see which cards were in my wallet and planned to
come up with a strategy in paying for this phone with different cards.
But I ran into a problem: there is only one credit card left in my
wallet after I cut up the rest of the other cards some time ago and
the available credit is not enough to cover the cost of the phone. For
the first time I am at a point where I really cannot do anything in my
power to get what I want, and it is extremely humbling. Of course in
this instance I have the choice to spend an entire check to get the
Tilt, but it would be at a huge cost to some parties that I already
owe money to.
Alas, I am hereby stuck with the iPhone and I do not mind at all. In
the long run this will be the best decision as I continue to regain
control of my finances.
