As a student without a job, I have a hard time making ends meet, and when I have to pay for something, lots of stress works its way into my mind. Focusing on all the things I do buy makes me freak out, so I've created this list of items that I can be proud of for being able to resist. When temptation strikes, this list helps keep me on track.
Keep in mind that I am not against using all of these things. There are quite a few items on the list that I'll happily accept or try to get for free. Some examples: someone buys me a game as a present, the news is readily available on the internet, or I find a copy of a textbook I need online.
