| | Registered User | | Join Date: Oct 2009 Location: Philadelphia, PA | | | Well I usually just max out all of my possible resources. I still haven't payed $1,000 on a single piece of gear yet though, although I've bought basses that retail for like 14 and 15 hundred. Actually now that I think about it I've gotten good deals on most of my equipment. It's just that I'm poor so I was still scraping together pennies.

| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2007 Location: niles, mi | | | i've definitely done this with a lot of gear.
the whole "i've got money coming in... soon.... i can 'borrow' a little bit from my rent to buy... something"
got me into trouble a few times... but managed to make everything work.
....
in the long run.
unfortunately (sometimes) that's usually the first priority for my money... gear first.
then bills/food/rent etc.

It took me about 2 years to pay back with only enough money for a can of coke when I'd go out with my friends, but I'm really proud of the fact that I paid her back
