$100 off sony PS3? You betcha!

So, after many months of almost buying a Archos 605, ipod nano, and the xbox 360 premium set I have decided that Blu Ray is king.

So, this is how the story goes. I won a ipod nano from someone I invited using the winzy search engine. He won a IPod Nano and since I was the one who invited him I won too, sweet! I took the cash option from amazon for $150. That $150 had to be spent. Reason? If you don't spend the cash winning then you really didn't win anything. the cash will just get dumped into your bank and lost like you never won anything.

Interesting how God works. As I constantly donated away my gaming and vegas winnings to charities like living water, acres of hope, and child's play charity, more and more money kept pouring in. Sure the Ignite business was blowing up but the more I gave away of my own personal allowance the more I won (all earnings from Ignite have gone to the kids and Jess's spending). Between blingo, winzy, epinions, switchplanet, goozex, ebay, surveys, Las Vegas, birthdays... I was taking in a lot of personal spending money. I have allocated $40/month to anything (toys) as sign that if I really wanted something I'm going to save to get it. I was planning on saving for a full year to get a xbox 360. Instead? The more I donated the more I got showered with more return! That is just mind blowing.
