Ides of March...No Need to Beware!

Although it was actually yesterday, March 15th, the day known to many as the day Brutus betrayed Julius Caesar was everything but a dark or somber day. As a huge fan of Shakespeare's work, the Ides of March has been embedded in my head to mean a day to beware of. How silly that a fictional story can allow dates to stick in your mind years later, even without any true significance. But I digress...

So this past weekend I was able to treat myself to something I wanted for a very long time but couldn't afford it. I actually walked into the Apple department of Microcenter knowing that I wanted a Macbook and would not leave the store without it. The new Windows 8 is terrible. It is almost impossible to navigate and comprehend, and ultimately it almost enrages you to wanting to toss the laptop. I knew that I did not want a laptop with Windows. I was determined and even said that I would not blog again until I was doing it from a my own Macbook. :)


The beautiful thing is I had a CHOICE. When you're broke, you have to get what you can afford or sometimes you can't get anything at all because you can't afford it. However, when you begin to get to a place of financial freedom, life becomes a bit more manageable because you have way more choices. A few months ago, there is no question that I would have went to Walmart and gotten the cheapest laptop I could find, or even go to Rent A Center to avoid spending a lump sum. But thankfully, through God providing this opportunity with DS Domination I am now able to have choices. I made the choice to withdraw $1300 and pay for my purchase in cash. 

While the associate was typing my information into the computer, her manager walked by not seeing me and says to her, "so are you going to do anything today" and kept walking before she could even tell him that she was helping me with my purchases. I thought to myself what a jerk and before I paid for my items I gave that associate my information for DSD so she could become financially free and fire that jerk of a boss! I ended up getting the Macbook Air, the Microsoft Office for Mac and a nice red tablet for my mom. DSD rocks!!
