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.

i just cut mine up today. Cant be using my CCs for cigars and i need to be paying them off anyways.

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.

Devanmc · 01-11-2011, 12:48 PM

thats right taxes are needing to be done soon. hmm maybe i can work on filling my new cooler, then. decisions... decisions

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.

Smart man. I don't have any CCs at all and havent for the last 8 or so years.

zappaFREAK · 01-12-2011, 07:35 AM

My wife is my control!

MiamiE · 01-12-2011, 07:43 AM

I use debit cards so I can feel the pain right away!

swh127 · 01-12-2011, 08:20 AM

Yea, I don't have that will power. Just spent 400 bucks on cigars. I just never let my wife look at the credit cards (i paid them off every month though)

01-12-2011, 08:30 AM

Good Luck! I use my card only if i have the cash on hand to pay it off.

maninblack · 01-12-2011, 08:40 AM

CC's and cigars do not go hand in hand. I am afraid to add up what I spent last year on cigars. And my wife would neuter me if she knew.

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.
