I'm at a conflict and it involves money, and I need help!!
Okay, it's:
Night out with Mike Fielding DJing vs. Nice shorts from New Look
And I can't do both because of money.
Mike DJing sounds like the obvious option to choose but:
I've already seen him DJ a few times
It costs more than the shorts [which are £18] and I don't have much money
I won't be able to afford drinks on that night if I go
And the shorts may be gone by the time I get paid again and it's hard to find good shorts that don't look shit...well, to me anyway. Plus, they come with a nice black scarf with white stars where a belt should be and I'm a sucker for scarves that act like belts.
Now, I CAN see Mike and buy the shorts if I go more overdrawn and use my credit card so I won't have to pay back a ton. HOWEVER, I'm not getting paid that much next month and for any more money to come out would still affect me, BUT if I buy the shorts when I do get paid [if they're there] then I'll have to pay for them no matter what anyway.
So: buy the shorts now or wait? I'm not sure which will mean more money coming out... I guess buying the shorts with my credit card now would mean paying less in the long run actually....
But to save money, should I go see Mike or buy the shorts?
I'm gonna try and collect money off my mates they owe me so I won't be overdrawn anymore when I put the money in, but I still can't afford the shorts and Mike!!
Right, I've even confused myself so here are the pros and cons of both things:
Mike
Pros:
He's a good DJ
I'll have a really good night out
I'll get to speak to him again probably
I'll get to see my friends
Cons:
Costs more than the shorts
Seen him already about 3 or so times
Can't afford drinks and it usually takes me longer to get into something if I'm sober
If I pay for this, I MAY have to pay double for my contact lenses [£30] if the money isn't in the bank, which it won't be, but this isn't certain, just very likely
Shorts
Pros:
They look bloody good and already come with an ace accessory
May cost me less in the long run
I've wanted shorts for ages
Cons:
I might be a bit jealous at having missed Mike and a good night out
I think actually I should get the shorts because I really don't have much money, but other opinions would help.... I have until Thursday to decide, which is when the gig is.
I'd get the shorts since you've seen Mike before, more than once.
They sound awesome, and it's reeeeeeeeeally hard to find good shorts.
I live in aus, you would have thought there would be tons of good shorts, considering it's hot all the time, but there aren't.
But it's cold in england a lot, maybe you don't need shorts?
Or is the summer over where you are?
Here it's autumn.
Plus, Mike will probably DJ at some point later this year near where you are surely?
