From this point on, time just flies by, and usually around this time of year we’re in the habit of buying Christmas and birthday gifts for my son. However, this year the expenses were a bit of a burden—it really hurt my wallet because this time my son wanted a PlayStation. The option that would cost us the least was a PS4; a PS5 was almost out of the question, so for now we managed to buy the PlayStation with its controllers and a game (this will be his birthday present).
So, we still need to get a Christmas gift; we’re thinking of buying a few video games, but I don’t know if we’ll be able to buy anything else. As always, buying anything in this country is a hassle, so we went there with a plan—we’d figured everything out via WhatsApp before heading over—but when we got there, things were very different from what we’d been told on WhatsApp. Even so, we managed to buy it—and it was pretty expensive—because, as always, WE DON’T HAVE FOREIGN CURRENCY, and without foreign currency in this country, you’re a poor soul.
And there’s always the risk of buying something without knowing how long it’ll last, since these are basically secondhand products, but let’s hope it lasts a while and works well. So far, we’ve tested it and everything’s fine, but it was hard to do all this with the kid at home—I had to keep him out of the room so he wouldn’t see the surprise, haha. To think there are still two months to go before I get to see the look of excitement on his face when he gets his PlayStation.
We'll see if we can buy him a few other things; I'm up to my neck in debt, and it's been a tough month financially, but I'm confident I'll pay off all my debts as soon as possible.
