We've never been a "Keeping up with the Jones" kind of family. It's so overrated and totally not who we are. We live a pretty simple life. We buy what we need, when we need it or when it needs replaced. We just got our first game system last year, and it was a PS2 hand-me-down from my brother! Crazy right?
My point:
Last night Jason decided that he wanted to buy a new TV. A thought totally unfathomable to me since our 19 inch TV Jason bought in Korea in 1994 still worked JUST FINE! Was it big? Nope. Fancy? Nope. Did I care? Nope. I had NO desire to go buy a new TV just b/c our TV was old. I was content. Bills paid, money in savings, happy Angel.
However, we all know how men are when they get that bug! He flitted all around, looked on-line, looked on ebay and came to the conclusion that what he wanted was cheapest at Wal-mart(Isn't it always??) So I told him to GO! It was worth the cost of the TV to get him settled and out of my hair.
So, now we are the proud owner of a 32 inch HDTV. It's huge! I can't imagine anything bigger, I'd need theater seats! It's nice to watch DVD's again though. We snuggled up and watched a little 'The Unit' last night.
If he's happy I'm happy...even if we didn't need it!!

We have pretty much the same attitude over here, though I've been trying to convice Sean to get a new TV in our bedroom. The one we have is a 17" that his parents bought him in 1992! But it still works just fine, so he won't budge yet.
Congrats on your new TV.
