Another Expensive Item that I Can’t Afford
Posted on July 19th, 2008 | by dzoi |I’m seriously considering getting a cash advance so I can finally buy an iMac. Part of me is saying that I should wait until I have the full amount in cash but I’ve been absolutely green with envy ever since my brother got his hands on one. I can already pay for the half amount right now if only I wasn’t saving it for our travel plans in the next two months. This brings back again the option of cash advance. According to this site that I visited, I’m already pre-qualified up to $2500. The thing is I want to pay for the loan immediately so I can keep my credit record clean. I’d rather not use my credit card for this purchase unless I find a store that offers it at a 0% installment basis.
Anyway, according to Apple, the cheapest iMac is at $1100. Add shipping, customs fees, etc and the final costs will reach up to $200-$300 if bought from our local stores. If I can’t come up with the extra cash, my last hope is just to find a very nice, refurbished version.
