OH MYLANTA


Yep.
This is what I'm holding in my hands.
Well, that's not my hand, but you get the picture :)

The Nikon D5000 + the 55-200mm F4-5 Lens
+ 9 free photography classes (2hrs each)
+ $50 camera bag
+ 2 free 8gb memory cards (steal)
+ a free photobook
+ free portrait sitting by
a fantastic photographer
+ 9 mo. financing
(I need to build credit..
we'll see how long I can wait to pay it off.
Tyler is guessing 3 months...
I'll never make it 9!)
+ some other free stuff that I can't remember
= WAY less than I thought it would be.
Ultimately, its going to be priceless.
THANK YOU TAXES.
And, thanks to all of you folks who helped me research
this decision for the last 18 months.
I am not an impulse buyer.
But today...I finally made the 2nd biggest purchase of my life!

HOORAY!

Aren't you all excited to FINALLY see pictures?
Freak, I am.
Its about time!

i was just lying in bed thinking about this...
and i thought i should tell you that if you want to build credit by financing this, i believe it will only help you if you show six months of repayment. it wouldn't hurt you to pay it off early, but it can help you more if you have a loan showing repayment for at least six months. you could pay off a majority of the balance in 3 months and leave like 30 dollars for the last three and pay $10 every month. that way you save on interest. creditors determine good repayment history on a sixth month basis... i think. they like to see longer periods of time so they know you are a good borrower. this will help you when you decide to buy a house. :)

here's where my financial education comes into play. haha.
