Why do things always pop up when you don't have $$$
« on: January 31, 2014, 05:47:01 PM »
Ok, I need some counselling  ;D ;D ;D

there exists a particular brand of camper that I really really like, they are very hard to find second hand, infact only seen a few over the last 2 years, so one has come up but we agreed not to buy another camper for 1.5 years until the eldest finished school (he is grade 11 this year).

So our plan was to buy next winter 2015 and then head off for 6 mths in 2016 with the youngest out of school with us and the eldest ??? work/military/living it up in my house LOL

So then a good myswagg buddy of mine sends me a link and I should not have opened it, so its exactly what we want even has the same wheels as our car.. I call the guy he says sorry mate a family friend has said he wants it so i have towed it down south for him.

Oh ok I say thats that I can move on and we discuss "we said we will wait ect ect" all good ..

THEN ...he calls me back and says the other guy pulled out and he can tow it back up here on the 17/18 feb for me to inspect.

Now I am really in a heart Vs mind tussle.

I know if I let this go in 18mths we wont find one when want one, but the $$$ are a big deal. and would require a re-draw on my home (something I have never done in my life). In 18mths I could pay cash.   

I know i need to grab it... just need some good old fashion myswag therapy ..in fact feel better already..

thanks for listening myswag.

Just get the money from the bank they have plenty. He who die's owing the bank the most is the winner  ;D

Seriously if you can pay cash for it in 18 months then borrow it and in 18 months time pay the loan out in full. No harm done and only a small bit of interest.

We learnt this the hard way, too many times.

If it is there, you have the funds for it, get it.

Too many times we delayed purchased, it has gone, never to find another one again.

That could really work.
Just a bit of advise though, don't forget to actually send the artwork to the buyer.  ;D

You can start to pay down the loan when the s roasts next door pay out for the fence.

Seriously, you know if this is sensible or not.  If you are able to do so without significantly impacting on your finances then why not?

Think of it as a 'dividend' for never having re-drawn on your hose in the past.  If you had, you wouldn't be in a position to consider it now.

The Heaslip was a bit of a stretch for me, but Like you, I knew that it was what I was after, and that they are usually as hard to find as rocking horse poo.

I just happen to know what it is :)

My advice is to just get it, you know you want to.  If I wasn't in the process of building a shed I would have bid against you for it.
