Discovered a new Busse torture

[emt1581]

Money has been really tight. It's not that we don't have jobs or are horrible spenders. But my kid's day care alone is $1000/month. That's almost as much as another mortgage. But I digress....

The other day Naomi emailed me to let me know my CF/Black Canvas/TGLB was ready for shipment. However, I still owe $240 on it. For the first time ever, I was not just able to hand over such an amount to get my new toy. I actually have to wait.

This is worse than waiting for the Busse crew to make the thing! Now it's just sitting there waiting for another month to go by so that it can have a new home.

Torture!! Just figured I'd share with the rest of you.

Stay home with your kid. I survived.
It's worth the wait.

Sorry to hear that EMT. Good on you for being responsible to your family and your self too. In the end, you'll have the INFI for far longer than you didn't have it. It'll be all the much more sweeter and more satisfying when you end up having it all.

Even the goodness of our addiction cannot beat the goodness of taking good care of your kids.

OUCH... that's gotta hurt, man.

I'm a gun guy as well. I pretty much completed my collection though so then I moved on to collecting knives...again. But yeah, I'd do anything for him.

At 1.5 he is walking and can now say "mah" when asked how a cow goes...

Oh yeah. Imagine the damage you could do with an extra $1K every month.

All I know is that in 3 years I'm buying myself a sports car.

That does suck but now you know its there and waiting.

And thank you by the way... I didn't get an email yet but I just checked and my CC was dinged yesterday. I've got one just like you coming in.

CF and Black Canvas??

It'd definitely dull the pain to at least see another one like mine in the mean time.

Thanks

Yep just like it. Exactly 6 weeks from when I spoke to Pokey about it too.

Mine was ready 29 days after I placed my order. Unless I come into an extra $200 this month I'll have mine by the end of September.

PLEASE POST PICS!!!

I feel ya with the day care, we did it for several years. Now the kids are a little older and our schedules are staggered so we have it covered. When we stopped day care we put the funds into the prepaid college plan. Now that is paid off and we can take a break, its a good feeling.
The TGLB in CF with Black is going to be sweet, be sure to post pics.

 

[wyattT]

that day care is more than state college. damn

Does the busse group get upset and black list you, if you place an order and back out upon completion?

I'm not sure, but that is pretty poor form regardless.

ETA: That came out sounding a bit harsh, sorry. I'm sure if you have good reason, they'll understand.

I agree about bad form. They are doing this interest free to lessen the blow a little bit.

Plus if I say I'll pay, I'll pay. I'd never think of backing out after making an agreement.

sorry to hear emt..
I am sure Busse can hold the knife for you, or just sell it to the next person in line, if they need to..
Its all about budgeting and asset allocation and taking care of kids and family first!

That's a smart kid! Year and a half old and already learning a foreign language!

-Emt1581

And that is exactly the right answer! Just like your putting him and the family first … stand tall, brother. The INFI will be there …

"Mah"!

He is going to need it the way this country's going!...Most likely Chinese.

Here's something that makes it even worse...after paying all of our bills this month and allocating for our savings I have an extra $500 left. So now I'm REALLY tempted to say send/charge it!

However, large chunks of money have a way of being needed in a moment's notice for things like car repairs, household items, etc.... so unfortunately I'll most likely wait another month.

Maybe after the next paycheck if there continues to be this surplus I'll just give in and tell them to send it a few weeks early.
