I'd almost rather walk barefoot on broken glass than keep track of a budget. Luckily I have managed fine without one.

I honestly can't see most people putting books before essentials budget wise though. There is always the library and/or second hand. I have known those whose first monetary priorities are sex and/or booze, but I can't see them as budgeting types saving up to buy a kindle.
