superA 289 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Light saber, comm used in Star wars in the trash bin and I think the other is the bino/scanner that luke used in the first star wars to search for the missing R2D2 and C3PO. I have no idea what the last one is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kliegl 304 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 My rule is don't borrow money / go into debt on anything that won't appreciate. So that's buying a house and tuition, basically. Everything else is cash. I will pay for things on a credit card, but the whole statement is paid at once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vicarious_Lee 84 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'm a prepper first and S12 enthusiast second (now. it didn't used to be that way). Going into debt to buy guns is, for a prepper, total FAIL. Actually, going into debt to buy much of anything related to preparedness is prep failure of the highest order. So, I salute you, and I hope you got a good price on those S12s, and nothing personal, but I SINCERELY hope that they do not appreciate in value in ANY WAY because of any new governmental ruling or change. I bought a bunch of shit during the Panic of '08, and I could not be happier that I now look upon it as overpriced, unnecessarily purchased crap today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I buy everything I can with cash or my debit card. Believe it or not, I don't currently, and never have, owned an actual credit card. This is the main reason why I was able to put away quite a bit of money into my savings account when I was in NY (which came in real handy when my girl and I moved to SC, and we didn't have jobs for awhile). My friends think I'm "big money", when in reality, I've never had a "high" salary or pay rate. I just don't have the car loans and credit card bills, etc, that 95% of people my age have. If I want something, I'm patient enough to save up for it, or sell something I don't want, to fund it. All of that being said.....I still need to build my credit, for the future. Going to the bank for a house loan isn't going to turn out well, as it stands now. Banker: Well....it says here you have no credit at all, sir! My buddy bitches about not having money. It's then that I remind him that he's got a $30K truck and a $12K motorcycle in front of his house that he's paying the note for. He bought his truck brand new and has put about 12K miles on it in like 5 years. He doesn't even need his own vehicle. He's got a county-owned truck that he takes home every night and is free to use as he pleases even when he's not working, for the most part (thus the super low miles on his truck). Me? I bought a '93 Civic when I was 18, for $4K and it lasted me up until a few years ago when I bought my girlfriend's '98 Civic from her for $3K. I'm still driving that one now. In other words, I've paid $7K cash for 2 vehicles that have lasted me since I was 18, and the current one is still going strong. It's all about how you manage your money. You can make $70K a year and still be broke, if you live a luxurious lifestyle. You can also make $30K a year and live like a king, in some people's eyes. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonaldDuck 9 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 This is what I sold, can anyone name them? I'll play! I'll play!!! Okay.

bohound 281 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Good policy Boba- Our family doesn't buy squat if we can't pay in cash either. I was freed from the bondage of credit cards and associated debt about 4 years ago, and have not looked back. Personally I don't want or need another credit card. That said, we have a few friends on the other end of the spectrum. One has maxed out his credit purchasing storable food, ammo, and associated supplies, the other maxed out his cards buying physical silver-then refused to pay the credit card companies. Both of them are betting on the dollar completely collapsing before any repeelievercussions come down the pike. The first guy is actually a Saiga owner (because of mine!), and believe it or not- was an econ major in school and still gives lectures at his alma mater for their business dept. as a rep from the Van Mises Institute. The irony is delicious. The second guy has actually made a LOT of money (in theory) because when he bought the silver it was around $12 an ounce, which has since doubled and then some. If he were to liquidate half, he'd be able to pay the credit card company, but he says "screw them". He insists that the banks have sealed our doom, so we should screw them every chance we get. Funny stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kliegl 304 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 9 out of 10 girls who think they can dress up as the Princess in the brass bikini don't understand that the bikini is only about 20% of the costume, and they don't have the other 80%, because they're usually fat. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sumsky 115 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Thanks but no thanks for the winning prize, :lolol: :lolol: This is part of why I love this Forum, very entertaining.

Boba Debt 350 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Then there was the time I sold 56 Smashed Quarters from Disney World and got $400 for them, which more then paid for my crazy Stoeger Tactical SXS Coach Shotgun Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GregM1 241 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Good choice on selling for a gun Boba. The only movie props i have are from Eddie Murphy's Coming To America. I have one of the Prince Akeem currency coin and bill. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paulyski 2,227 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 It is a very good idea business-wise, or for hobbies not to go into debt for them if at all possible. Same goes for cars. Better to own them outright. Even if one has to loan themselves the money to avoid finance fees & interest. One just has to get over the allure of the advertisers telling them that they need the newest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
6500rpm 670 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The golden rule is sponsorship-let someone else pay for your play. Unfortunately, unless you're a top shooter in this neck of the woods it's probably not going to happen but a lot of our business members could make some gains in terms of exposure to their products.

Looking back I don't know why I kept my family in debt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
