I've finally gotten off the fence.

I'm not getting an Xbox 360 or any next generation game system.
I can't seem to feel out the point of it, and I sure as hell can't justify spending a $1000 on a game when I only spend $2.50 a day on lunch and drink free coffee.

After talking with otis, I'm leaning toward stacking it all in investments with the aim of growing what I already have. It makes more sense, than buying a piece of hardware that will be worthless in a couple of years.

Finances are becoming quite a concern here. I thought I'd be able to pocket most of my pay cheques but Calgary living costs are making that almost impossible.

There's no other way about it.
I either need to live somewhere affordable... or I need to earn a shit load more money.
