A Best Buy gift card was <i>obviously</i> provided for entertainment. As for the Amazon gift cards, I haven't spent all of that money, and my purchases so far were not comprised solely of games - there were a few DVD's and CD's in there - things you would <i>never buy</i> of your own accord. There were also many other gift certificates in there that couldn't possibly be used on games - some that haven't even been spent yet! Secondly, you had nearly 6 months to use the Amazon gift cards on something more useful! I asked you on multiple occassions whether you needed or wanted anything, and you didn't ask for a single thing. I was making sure those certificates didn't go to waste! You even <i>told</i> me to spend the money because holding onto gift certificates slowly devalues them (which is true). You also can't deny that you've imposed a budget on my previously unshackled gaming and entertainment expenses. You've even blogged about it. Compared to me, you're a penny-pincher, plain and simple. Besides... your personal blog is inspired by a story of a wealthy person being so frugal that she looked homeless. And you're a regular Wisebread blogger - yeah, the blog on FRUGAL LIVING. I'm not saying it's a bad thing. Saving money's your thing, and gaming's mine. I was just stating a fact. I don't see why you take offense at being a penny pincher when your blogging identity is apparently proud of being one.
