This is the opposite of rewarding yourself for doing a good job or doing something right. I figure if you were successful, you should be happy and don't need to spend any more money. But, if you wanted to do something and weren't able to get it done, well it is time to force yourself to spend the money to fix the issue.
Or maybe I'm just trying to justify spending $700 on a HDTV that I don't really need for my exercise room. But it would be one less excuse to not working out (the old CRT doesn't look good at 1920x1080, and is hard to use). I only worked out once a week and not as much as I should have. (I bike, run, swim, kayak, hike, plenty of other stuff however) In college I was working out three times a week. I want to get up to 6 days a week, 30 minutes each time (in the morning
). It shouldn't be that hard, I don't have too many excuses anymore.
I think my next challenge will be to get more friends in this area by January. If I fail, the fine will be that I have to enroll in a class at the local college. And it won't be a computer class.
I will have to try and come up with a few other things. What things would you want to change, would spending money help fix them?
