Monthly Update - September 2016

RESOLUTIONS

1. Stay on budget. I've bought 10 of my 12 seasons (Angie Tribeca, Better Call Saul, Full Frontal Seasons 1-2, Supergirl, Last Panthers, Preacher, Night Manager, Mr. Robot, You're The Worst) which now puts me one over my budget. Still pretty sure I'll only hit 12 by the end of the year. I had only bought one game (Overwatch) which was keeping me plenty busy, but then X-COM 2 hit PS4 and I ordered that at the tail end of the month.
