Every Little Bit Helps, Part II

I almost ordered a rug a few minutes ago. I saw it online earlier and fell in love with it. In. Love.

I had already clicked to add it to my bag and was about to go through the rest of the online shopping process -- with my credit card! -- when I thought to myself, "Would you rather have the rug? Or would you rather be debt free?"

I chose the latter.

The rug is $70. And though it's small, it's worth every penny -- it's gorgeous and so my style. Still, it's worth every penny for someone who has those pennies to spend on a small rug. And right now? That's not me. I have other priorities, and if I ever want to be that person who has those extra pennies for a $70 rug, I need to say no to such things now.
