I've realized I need to curb my habit of impulsively buying every low-cost guitar I stumble upon. Over the last month, I spent enough on five budget guitars to have instaed purchased an Epi Elitist LPC! It's a funny thing, really. Each time I see a bargain, I convince myself this is the deal of a lifetime, only to realize later that pooling those resources could have gotten me a much higher quality instrument. It’s definitely something for me to think about more critically in the future.
