This. There's nothing wrong with an investment that's going to save you money in the long run, just don't let the tiny hole you put in your savings let more "water out". I always find it's easier to spend once I start and before I know it that little guilty purchase becomes several.

Nothing you have stated is true in any regard other than the fact that you live with your mom. What the actual fuck?

Playing Ps1 games in bed is EXTREMELY comfy doe. I recommend you give it a try.
