I finally paid off my car loan 10 days ago, and I have my home equity line of credit down to where I will pay off in days. But I came very close to extending that loan out 2-3 more months.
For the holiday weekend, my local camera store was having big promotions and another "Cash 4 Cameras" trade-in event. For fun I loaded up the listing of used gear as I do weekly. I find: Used Nikon Z 180-600mm F/5.6-6.3 VR NIKONZ $1,499.99 . OK, I want to be a rock and stick to the financial plan this year. But I can trade in the Sigma 150-600mm, and I'm oh-so-close I can touch it.
The short story, I hurried up after work today and gathered up all the bits for my Sigma. Knowing full well the lens could already be snapped up. I arrived, and it was sold. I think the used list is updated on Tuesdays. It is possible to give a sigh of sadness and relief at the same time. So I brought my lens back home and I will have that upgrade in some months on my own schedule. Disappointed the sales staff a lot.
