Alright, from here on out, we watch the useless spending!

When I was in highschool, I would make about 60 bucks a week. I did this for 3 and a half years. In that time, I managed to save enough money to buy the following things:

Epiphone Les Paul Custom
Parker P-40
Sigma Acoustic
Traynor YCV80
Traynor YCX212
A pile of effects
Digitech RP300
A couple of wahs

Although it doesn't seem like much, it's a few thousand dollars worth of stuff.

Nowadays, I'm too careless with spending and I always get bit in the ass when it comes to unexpected bills.

I've been watching my bank account closely over the last two weeks and I haven't cheap, but 'thrifty' in my spending. It's actually grown rather than dropped into the negatives... :)

I'm going to watch my spending, pay off my credit card and save up for some new gear.

Here's the things I want to get:

Fender Jimmie Vaughan strat (I can't remember who was talking about this guitar, but it's probably the best import they make! It's a steal)
Traynor YCV50BLUE.
Some nice pedals and a Pedaltrain board.

    I'm with you man. I plan on throwing a little bit of each paycheck into my savings, and curb my spending on everything except the essentials. I'm saving for the following:

    Gibson SG '61 Reissue
    Vox AC15
    Voodoo Pedal Power II
    Some kind of pedal board so I don't have to set them up and disconnect them everytime I want to play.

    Does that Pedal Power allow you to do this?

    Yeah, saves you from having to use batteries, which can drain when the input jack is in a pedal, regardless of whether the pedal is on or off.
