I need a Con Fix

Don't worry. This is not another "Rant about Rep abuse" blog. Not me. Heck, I go away for a bit and PC is again going through something.

But I digress. With my Summer dulled out thanks to my Dad's leukemia, which is in remission much to the amazement of the doctor and he's doing fine, if you want to know, July's almost at an end.

But lucky for me, there's an escape. Hartford CT is having their yearly anime con called ConnectiCon. It's not as big as Anime Boston, but it's a good con nonetheless. Lucky for me again is the fact that Hartford is a 45 minute trip down I-91 South from the Ghetto of Flo-Town, as I call my hometown. That means no, long 3 hour bus trip for me.

I'm just planning on a Saturday only trip. I had some previous expenses to take care of, so I had to dip into my ConnectiCon fund. But still, I am going to load myself up on Anime Goodness either way. I brought over $1300 with me to Anime Boston 2009 and I nearly spent all of it, leaving me with only $120 left not counting the bus ticket I paid to get back home.

Heck if I had over $5000, I would still blow off all of that at an Anime con!!! So, I'm looking forward to this Saturday.

Let me repeat, my Dad is doing fine these days. That is all.

I think I'd put a priority on managing my finances versus wants.

Just my two cents.

Well, if I somehow got $5000 out of nowhere, I would save a good chunk of it and keep a bit for myself to blow off on.

Saving for anything short term is something I'm good at. Long term... I need some work on.
