I am a Brown skinned budgeting Redkneck?

forgive my english and writing skills, I aint no good at writing no more. :-)     




           We are Budgeting. So, instead of buying things we NEED(WANT Want want...),  we have been trying to find alternative ways of doing and buying the things we NEED(WANT Want want...).
Like for Christmas we wanted to get the new XBOX KINECT, with the highest rated game Dance Central. To get it would have made it our only christmas present.  I didn't want my one and only christmas present to be a video game (that i'd have to share too).  I'm a grown ass MATEWER(mature) Woman, I deserve to play my video games with out having to share, if i get a video game its gonna be mine and not yours. I really me to say i deserve to get Jewelry, or Shoes or perfume for christmas; Not just ONE Xbox.

I am a mature grown a** Woman!

       Christmas, we did in fact NOT get the kinect due to budgeting ( we thought we would end up buying it for Christmas so we were proud of ourselves for not buying it).
We, Did get to play it at Nana and Papa's house and it was so so so much fun.  We played it every day for hours. Ryker was hooked! He's my little hip hop dancing 5 yr old (so so so cute).


             I have A question for you to think about, keep it to yourself or to someone else other than me. (I don't want to know what you think because, I've already decided what i thought about the question). The question is : Am I "Red Knecked" or Clever @ budgeting?


           After my One month Christmas vacation was over, i flew home. I was now away from Nana and Papa's house; away from the Xbox Kinect and Dance Central.  I wanted to play Dance central really bad.  


           I googled Dance Central, the first Link that Popped up was Youtube.com . It had really nice recordings of the TV screen, while somebody played the game. I opened the link and the first song/dance that came up was Poker face.  I clicked on the Video and it was almost I was the one playing the Kinect.  
   
        BEST IDEA EVER.  I could play the kinect for FREE, in my own home; NO MONEY DOWN!
I looked up my favorite song on Dance Central (via Youtube), ZIPPP there is was right in front of me. The best part is Youtube dance central shows me "playing" it really good, hardly any Red zones on my body (even if it happens to be a 250lb male body reflecting at me). And the "DING" went off in my head.


        I hooked my Macbook up to my Sony tv (via HDMI cables).  I then looked Dance Central up thru Youtube, and instantly started playing/dancing my favorite song Pon de Replay medium, in my living room. My son Ryker came in when he heard his favorite song/dance: Solja Boy.  It was like he was hypnotized and he started dancing and wouldn't stop.


        So I now put Dance central on (via youtube), and let my Five year old believe that not only do we have a Kinect with dance central, but also that he is the one playing the game and not the screen of a 350lb 25yr, recently single female.


      Is it "Redknecked" of me to "pretend play" the Kinect Dance Central; Due to Budgeting?  Or, is it a "Wow, you are creative when your backed into a budgeting corner" idea?
I personally think it was a very POSH idea, and I should get a lot of credits from fellow budgeters.


    I guess it's how you look at it, but if you do think it's rednecked; then the jokes on you because I'm not the one who spent 300.00 to 400.00, on a gaming set. I will keep that money and put it towards the cruise when I retire thank you very much.
