I'm thinking I should knock out more training, how bout ya'll?

Do as you wish. I really have to agree with Quade. Paying off your CC's would help you more then 8 jumps. :ph34r: Doing the right thing isn't always the most fun.

Best bang for your buck is going to be paying off the credit cards.

Also the least amount of fun.



Agreed. Sorry, Cajun, but it would be wiser to pay the debt off asap.

Btw, your little girl, Nola, is so beautiful! :)


Thanks! She is a sweetheart. I know paying the debt is the right thing but geeeeeez, going through AFF sucks at $130.00 per jump. I think I have too many expensive hobbies.

I'm thinking you should send it to me. I'll take it to WFFC with me and then set up a "Free Booze for chicks that blow me" booth. I'll take video and then we'll post it on the internet. Charge a nominal fee for advertising and $3 for 30 days membership fee for people that want to download the footage. We'll be rich in no time. :D Think of it as an investment! B|

Hmmm. This may be an option. However, I don't think you'll be able to handle all of the chicks. I may have to come work the booth a little to help with the overflow of ladies. :P

Absolutely. See my jump number? It hasn't changed in a year. $16k in credit card debt is responsible for that. I got it down to $29.00 last month (of course, yesterday I put $429 on needed office equipment at Circuit City - but a zero percent interest card). I paid off all $16k in the last 4 months.

Pay off the damned credit card. It sucks now, but is great later.

Silly people.......the only debt I have is my car. I only owe about 7-8K on it. When I get my raise in Feb I'm going to start making double payments on that! Debt will bleed you dry. Pay cash.......it's much nicer! B|

I concur. Before yesterday, I hadn't used a credit card since September, 2003. Unfortunately, I have had to take out about $20k in loans to start up my business. Good thing is those should be paid off by November is the current pace is maintained.

I like paying cash for things. I like having $23k in unused credit. Kinda nice having it in case the fit hits the shan...

If you jump with it and graduate, then you are still in debt. And you have to keep jumping to stay current - going further in debt.

Then you get your knees broke by the credit card company's "collection agency". Then you can't jump for 14 months.

So you'll have to retrain anyway. These jumps would be wasted.

Pay off your debt.

Send it to me to help pay for www.skydivingmovies.com bandwidth. $1000 will get you 3 months and everyone will cheer!

Just paypal the $$ to matthew@crocker.com It will be put to good use.



Ha! Wish I could. If I had extra cash laying around I would certainly send you some. That is an excellent site!
