Do you save for your next firearm purchase in any specific way? Do you have to take any extreme measures to prevent yourself from blowing it or getting it confiscated by family members?
Since I have changed states and no longer have a dealer that does lay-a-way I have had to find a new method of sitting aside money for my firearms purchases. I have very little discipline when it comes to cash on hand. If I just put money aside I either end up grabbing it and putting it in my pocket for a night out and blowing it or I get that "do you have any cash" question from my other half and "poof" it is gone.
Recently I have just been stopping in at a local shop when I have an extra $50 or more on me and picking up a gift certificate. That way I am not tempted to spend it during the week and I can honestly answer "no" when asked if I have any spare cash. Once the certificates hit a certain dollar amount I start looking for what I want next.
