I have sitting in front of me the order # and everything. Just waiting for our materials dept. to forward the shipping confirmation info to me!

I now have an outlet for purchasing mods, and seeing as I can have everyting deducted from payroll in any increment I choose... it's a limited "strain" on my income!

Hmmm, what should be next?!

I can't believe I never thought of this. I'm the one that does all of our purchasing and po's (with an assistant of course). Hmmm, I'm going over to talk to our accounting dept now, god I hope they tell me no way!!!!!

I go on a pay-by-pay basis and get things paid off before I move onto the next one. No bills rule!

I've used credit cards to buy stuff for my truck (lift, tires, etc..) and my credit score isn't 16. It's 725 as a matter of fact. Credit card usage does not equal low scores. You just have to know how to manage it and not let it get out of control. That's all.

Well, my credit score is close to 800, no worries there.
As for "just saving the money"... well, with my mortgage, truck payments and all the other various bills/commitments, the 'toys' always get overlooked. Besides, it's not like this is going on credit... I AM paying for it in full, just over a short period of time.

Agent, still not sure what you're getting at. Are you saying that you ask your wifes permission to do EVERYTHING!? Hope she knows you're online... wouldn't want you getting your pee pee slapped.

I usually buy things on my credit card so that I can have things a month early. I mean I can pay for them, if I had to, but it's nice to have more than enough money in the bank and the part. By the time the bill is due I have even more money in the bank so it's a no brainer. I'm fine with paying small interest rates to have the part sooner. Just means I have to shop for a better deal more thoroughly.
