SAVE $1,000 TO DO WHATEVER I WANT

MY ATTEMPT AT SAVING MONEY IS NOT GOING SO WELL. IT SEEMS THERE IS A NEW UNEXPECTED FEE AROUND EVERY TURN. EVEN NICE GESTURES CAN TURN INTO HOLES IN THE POCKET. FOR INSTANCE, A FRIEND OF MINE SAW SOMTHING AT THE STORE THAT HE KNEW I WANTED FOR A WHILE BUT I JUST COULDNT FIND. SO THINKING HE WAS DOING ME A SERVICE HE BOUGHT THE EXPENSIVE ITEM KNOWING THAT I MAY NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY HIM BACK RIGHT AWAY, BUT HE WAS WILLING TO WAIT. I DO LIKE THE ITEM, AND IM GRATEFUL THAT HE THOUGHT OF ME, BUT IT JUST MAKES IT HARDER TO GET TO WHERE I WANT TO BE. I COULD HAVE SAID NO, BUT I REALLY WANTED THE ITEM, AND I DIDNT WANT HIM TO THING I WASNT GRATEFUL FOR HIS ACTION.
