A friendly warning for those who intend to "vote till they drop"
if funds are low
debts might get high (or worse, higher)
multiple voting
might just make u cry
Before you go ballistic on the multiple voting guys and girls, make sure you can afford it! Making sacrifices for something you really want is one thing but if some of the news stories are anything to go by, you could find yourself in some majorly deep water come the phone bill. If you haven't budgeted for "voting till your fingers drop", think about the possible consequences later when you'll be struggling to pay for the phone bill.
Extreme multiple voting is understandably a very tempting thing to do when you're so passionate about something, but at the end of the day, it's YOU that will be stuck with a bill which could be way more than you bargained for.
Some might say that they'd cry more if their favourite didn't win rather than over the phone bill which is to be expected in the face of passion. Remember this though, when confronted with the reality of things, feelings can change!
I don't really care what view is held of me for voting just once or perhaps twice each week for a given contestant if I really like them but I personally wouldn't go more than that. I'd rather use the funds on other things.
If you're an extreme multiple voter, chances are you're shooting yourself in the foot because you might find with the debt you've accrued and with your available income, you won't for perhaps a long while be able to afford some of your favourite things (or worse staple things), including new CDs.
Just food for thought.
