Careful, I see your socio-economic status' showing.
AT3 was my first major con and I only decided to go to that one within weeks of it happening. Splurged and bought tickets for myself and a friend and it was a blast. I don't usually do things like that so when I came home, I had to be *very* good for many months and not spend any money other than paying bills, etc.
My usual norm is to work hard to earn money, quietly plot and save for fun things (albeit conventions, trips, or gadgets) and never be in a position where I have to be in panic mode when I realize how depleted my bank account is. Life does go on. Things still need to be paid. Cushioning that account with extra padding and tucking a bit away in a separate account never hurts either.
My moto is to enjoy life and the people around you...no matter where you are.
