The economy is fragile and my self-restraint is weak. Both reasons suggest I should stay OUT.

All overrated. Why eat if you can't look good doing it?

I think August is a very challenging month but I am in. I think we should use GAAP to account for what's considered as a purchase. A purchase occurs when an obligation or liability is incurred not when a liability is settled. So it's ok to take delivery and pay for items you've already ordered but not ok if you place an order. Clothing articles purchased as gifts are exempted.

Jeez, this reminds me of those days when my wife was taking CPA exams. All things were explained by accounting terms (not "accounting terms").
