Darling, let's get deeply into debt!

raybearI'm getting ready to call Damon and pull a Miss Cleo. I'm extremely close to making another large purchase which could conceivably be very stupid (by racking up more debt), but for the most part is not without merit.
[And besides, I could then sell my current turntables to some lucky livejournaler who's looking for a nice cheap way to play their beloved vinyl. It plugs into the AUX outlet of any home stereo! I might even deliver it depending on where you live!]
So anyway, um, yeah. Early xmas gift to myself? I suppose so. Am I just postponing and pushing back the possibility of getting top surgery while still in my 20's? Will I be taking needed steps forward in my DJ/producer career? I think so. Should I wait until I have more concrete options in acquiring more paying gigs?
Here's what I would get:
- Two (2) top of the line cream of the crop turntables. Magical. I can juggle beats! Mix previously incompatible songs! Play records backwards at any speed! I can compute BPM, change the tempo and not the pitch, and much much more.
- Two (2) new cartridges (i.e. needles) which will compliment my tables in their technology and not burn my records
- Two (2) road cases to protect my precious precious turntables and enable them to travel to gigs which would hopefully pay me.
In exchange, I would have approximately $1200 more debt. At this time I will not divulge what my current debt, or my current salary and rent, but if for some reason your a budget and money wizard who would like to know such things and aid me in my decision, leave a comment and maybe I'll e-mail you. Or feel free to just chime in.
In the meantime, I'll be consulting the Tarot. I feel compelled to either make the purchase TODAY or in a few months. And I think I'm leaning towards the former.
One last thing, if I buy these decks, from now on when someone asks what I do, I will first say I'm a DJ.
