$$$$$

Since I couldn't really afford 125 dollars up front like that for a new
SK, this is what I did.

A co worker, who, is like me when it come to electronic, computers, had
a BRAND NEW Acer Aspire One Netbook, and he wanted 300 for it. I told
him I will give him 50 right now, and 50 a week til its paid off, if he
brings it the next day. I let people know that I would be have the said
item, brand new, valued at 379, for 250 dollars the next day. People
said that they wanted to buy it. So when my co worker bought it in the
next day, I told people it was going for 200. People balked at that
price, so I lowered it to 175, 150. Sold it for 150 dollars.

I know you're saying, you bought something for 300, but sold it for 150,
half the price, yes I did. But I got the item in my hands for 50
dollars, sold it for 150, and have a Sidekick again. Paying that 50
dollars a week isn't gonna break me in any way. All I would have done
was spent it or saved it. What I gained was trust. Sometimes you have to
do what you have to do. True, I have people mad at me cause I didn't
sell it to them. But when you drag your feet, you get left behind. I
told them a 24 hours in advance, day before payday what I was putting on
the table. Cause you don't have your cheddah all in a row, is not my
fault. If blacked turned to blue I would have had 2 of them instead of
one that I have now. Ok, keep that transaction in mind, and think about
this.

You're part owners in a car dealership, and you have know me for a VERY
long time. I'm know to always have a job, right. So I come to you with
this. You have a car, its 5k dollars, and I can pay you, 480 dollars
every month til the car is paid for. You run the insurance thru you, and
I pay you seperate for that on the side each month. Do you take this
offering? I went to 3 dealerships and made that same offer. I told them,
no matter what my car payments can not be over 480 dollars each month,
that included taxes and all. You show see them trying to ring my majic
jack number off the hook. This is all without a credit check, all I
should them was that paper you get from Social Secruity Office each year
on how much you made to date each ending year. To me, working for all
your life is better that having a crdeit card or even credit. It shows
that you are responsibile to hold on to a job.

I'm not buying a car though, what do I need with one for. There isn't a
place I have to be that's that important that I need a car. Taking
public transportation is okay with me, it gives me time to read, think
and enjoy all the music that I download. But its just the thought about
getting a car, or anything, when you set the terms you wish it to be, it
to go by. A car would me nice, but I wouldn't drive it. I thought about
buying a piece of shit, something that at least runs, and then customize
it to what I want it to be. Tha shit would be illy.
