One click away

01-11-2011, 11:55 AM

I just got one click away from spending >$600 and stopped. I don't know how long I can hold out. I don't need any more cigars and I have to save up for taxes, but I still have room on my card. Must.... resist...

Oh good luck with that!

That's why I don't use credit cards for "hobbies". Made that mistake a few years ago, and still have a ways to go before that card is paid off.

Good luck. I have taxes in the back of my mind too. How I fair will determine whether or not the truck gets a lift this year.

Amen, Brother.
I never use credit to buy sticks.
I'm broke now but 3 years ago, I made good money and I went nuts on a regular basis.
We were at a Xmas party, and my dear wife announces to the group what an ass I am. I begged her to please shut up. No one is going to be impressed and they are going to think I'm a jerk.
"He spent $1300 in one month on cigars!"
My jaw dropped and I couldn't look at anyone.
But it wasn't done on credit.
Now I hold my breath when I win something for $29. LOL!

I have 2 kids, one of them just born in july. Tax return = Cha-ching!

Quarterly taxes = WHAP!
They were really good cigars. Two boxes. A little hard to pay cash for them.

I think I can wait until May.

Lance, don't you understand that threads like this limit my ability to go off and purchase stuff all willy-nilly? My girl reads these forums from time to time, and I will NOT have her seeing someone exhibiting self control.

Now click away, dammit!!

Just between you and me... the secret is to not let her know when and how many new cigars you get.

Dude, I don't have the scratch yet to afford my own apartment outside the home I share with Grace. If I did, I'd have a room with 5 or 6 huge Aristocrats and all deliveries would go there.

Been having stuff shipped to my office -- at least I can get rid of the packaging there and carry the boxes home in my briefcase "diplomatic pouch" style.

- works great until she asks why you took a full box of cigars to work and then brought them back home.

A $600 purchase would have been epic!!!!

Lance, At least you dream big!!!

Unfortunately, my office is in the home. Then, I have to track down the UPS guy in the evening prior to reaching my home to tackle the package
