In anticipation of a refund i bought a backup amp. ?

and will rewire my pedal board when i finally get the loot with top class cabling.

    I thought you were going to ask what to buy.

    My recommendations would have been Satrix, or sticking it into your bond.

    Sorry to be a spoil sport.
      GoPro HD Hero 960 ?

                  Still a great discipline! Mine will definitely go back into my bond or retirement fund or something. My bond is 1.6 million.. So, every penny counts ? haha..

                      just remember ppl, a bond is probably your cheapest source of loans so look at paying off cars etc before your bond (if you have cars on tick that is)

                      gotta admire your discipline though ....me ....i get a windfall i spend .....its that simple.

                        All the recognition has to go to my wife, we save for 3 years and buy our cars cash so the house is the only thing that we owe money on. Me.............man, I'd blow it soooooooooooooo quickly.lol.

                          sorry but that is totally wrong!! a bond is ONLY the cheapest loan for the immediate short term month by month repayment. Long term, you end up paying a hell of a lot more for something that you may have tapped into your bond for.

                          LONG TERM - it is cheaper tp pay someting off at a higher interest rate over 3 - 5 years than it is to pay off is it came fomr your bond over a period of, say 10 - 20 years..

                            You are of course correct except for the fact you have forgotten about the time value of money.
                            Interest rate is interest rate , the higher interest rate is the more it is going to cost you ..full stop irrispective of loan period.

                              I hear what you're saying but IceCreamMan is certainly not wrong. Of course it is cheaper to pay something off over a shorter period but that is no proof that vehicle fincancing is cheaper than a bond. The fact that your house is mortgaged over 20 years doesn't stop you from paying it off in 5 years. So a bond is not more expensive than vehicle finance, it's all up to how quickly you pay it off (i.e. how much interest you can avoid).

                              The point is, when you have a lump sum to pay towards your debts, it only makes sense to pay it into the loan with the higher interest rate (that would be your vehicle finance, not your bond). I believe that is what ICM is saying. It costs money (in the form of interest) to borrow money. Some loans cost more money than others. Vehicle finance costs way more than a home loan - which is why it is said that a home loan is cheaper than vehicle finance.

                                Another year, another SARS refund (unexpected this time) ... ?

                                Bought another amp ...Fender Super Champ X2 which has the FUSE enabled USB connection ....which i kind of have taken to wit hthe mustang range...kind of like the X2 tones without any tweaks but having said that i would only use 2 or o3 of the voicings for the most part anyway...

                                the clean channel is superb ....
                                  I paid off my car this year. Should have bought an amp...

                                    Sweet man! That Fender Super Champ X2 looks like a VERY interesting amp to me. I'm not currently in the market for a new amp but that doesn't mean I'm not gassing for one. Enjoy!
