Christmas comes in November: Home Entertainment Center

by Ry@SpillingBuckets | Saturday, November 22, 2008 in |

After a long period of research online, reading reviews, and price comparisons, Lez and I have decided to have Christmas a little early this year, to celebrate a transition into a new career field, and to help the economy in a time of tight liquidity, by choosing....

Samsung LN52A650 52-Inch 1080p 120Hz LCD HDTV with Red Touch of Color

Price: $1,998.58




Samsung BD-P1500 1080p Blu-ray Player

Price: $196.46




Standard DIRECTV Receiver (Lease)

Price: $69.99





DirecTV Premier Package: 265+ Digital Channels


Price: $983.88 (12 month contract)





Sony BRAVIA Theater System (DAVHDX576WF) - Black

Price: $407.76





PlayStation 3 80GB


Price: $399.99




Sub Total: $3,644.79 + $139.08 Shipping and Installation
Grand Total: $3,795.75


........to send the equivalent purchase prices of the above items to various student loan corporations, in the form of standard and extra payments, in an effort to do what we can in the month of November to help these institutions shore up more liquidity and be less reliant on government aid programs such as those contained in the TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Program).

I can't wait to see what we can send next month!

Goals

Here are our current list of goals as we discover what it means to be wealthy, abandon the deferred life plan, and work to design a fulfilling and sustainable life.
  1. Have an emergency fund of 6-9 months living expenses. Accomplished: June '08
  2. Eliminate higher interest student loans. A few of our big guys have some nasty rates attached to them, these must be destroyed.
  3. Save for a down payment on a house. Accomplished! May '09 we bought a house!
When we started this blog we set a goal to have a zero net worth one year later. We are getting closer but our priorities sure have changed since then.
