Title: IT Speculation for future purchase. (WIFE Approved) Post by: Syklone on 11/12/2014, 06:53 AM IT Speculation for future purchase. (WIFE Approved)
Gang, I have recently setup an IS&T Bank account that recieves $75 a week from my pay. Currently it is at $900 (fluctuates due to the odd bill but I try to top it back up to stay on track) My aim/goal is to have $4,000 by Oct 26th for an IT overhaul at my place. However, I am thinking I may not have enough and should aim for $5k What my goal is; - new desk & chair (comfy as possible not cheap vinyl) - new gaming rig and monitor (as high end as possible) - new NAS capable of accessing remotely. (my current 360gb is getting old) - Joystick (prefer Saiteck) - Gaming Keyboard and mouse. I have tried to predict what will be around in a 12 months time and think I am going to fall short at $4k cause of the furniture / chair etc and just focus on a PC/monitor/NAS. If you had to be a soothsayer for a day, would you say $4k is plenty for next year, or add an extra $25 a week in now and go for $5k? Thoughts ? Cause I need to lock this into the bank account / auto payment before it gets too late. Thanks, Syks Title: Re: IT Speculation for future purchase.
