[pianotech] pay as you go

[David Love]

Paying cash for everything even things like cars is great if you can do it.  Doesn’t work that well for houses though.

Well, if you're tuning 5 pianos a month maybe...  $5.10 a week pays for the dues if the total is $265.00.   I just received my bill but haven't looked at it yet.  

I follow Dave Ramsey's advice.  I don't charge.  I pay cash for everything.  I save money for what I want or need.  I use a debt card for all transactions and if I don't have the money, I just say no and don't do it.  I just bought another car and paid cash for it.  

Anything is possible but, a strict budget must be followed and adhered too.  That's my opinion anyway. Works for me FWIW.

Oh, I beg to differ - it is if you don't have the money to set aside in 
the first place. 

PLUS, my wife just got laid off from her IT job after 35 years - gone to 
India :-(
