Topic: Had a string of good luck this weekend.

I had a major moment of good luck this weekend. I came into some money. I will use it to cut down credit card bills and pay off some medical bills. My wife and friends said to buy myself something nice too. I was thinking about buying a Martin or a Telecaster. Then I thought about a Marshall half stack or Fender amp. Whenever I buy any new guitar or amp, I always go back to my beloved red strat and Gibson Falcon amp or my Yamaha sj-180. My explorer needs brakes and tires. That is getting done. After thinking long and hard , I made my decison on what to buy. I bought a nice stereo for my best friends car. We have been friends for 44 years. He was best man at my wedding. He stuck by me at my best and my worst, through thick and thin. It comes out to 10.00 a year for 40 years of friendship. I caught him by surprise. Friends for over 40 years at only 10.00 per year. I`m getting out of it cheap. I wish I could have done better for him.  He is a BRO and I appreciate all he has done for me. I finally get to return the favor. Plus, I enjoyed him swearing at me for thinking of him(in a good way). I can always get a guitar or amp but a friend like that only comes once. Since 3rd grade. 52 years old now

You're a good man Joey.  Better than most.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Jeoy, be sure to check out everything prior tp paying off credit card debt. I paid off nearly $70,000 worth of credit card bills and canceled the cards. Didn't help my credit ratimg one bit - if anything it hurt me. I still have items showing on my credit report that have been paid off several years and it is difficult to get them removed. Weither you like it or not having zero debt is worse that owing $$$$.

The credit card will still be there. I will just take a couple thousand off it. I didn`t get enough to retire or live comfortably. Just enough to ease the pain a bit.

I salute you sir, you are a good man.

Live in the "now" - a contentment of the moment - the past is gone - the future doesn't exist - all we ever really have is now and it's always "now".

Re: Had a string of good luck this weekend.

Thanx for all the good words. I only got enough to live comfortable for this month. Next month I will be back to just making ends meet. It was still nice to have an easy month and buy my best friend a present. It`s still great getting some medical bills paid in full.
