Default what would you do in my situation?

i have 1400 bucks that i got from the sl's i just sold. i have two options on what to do with the cash. either be smart and pay off my cc bill (interest isnt too bad and i dont have too much on it) or i could buy a set of stoptechs with 2k miles on them for a grand and put 400 to the credit card. in the summer i'll be making lieutenants pay and not have to pay rent for 2 months and i'll get whatever cash i get from graduation "presents". so i could either pay off the credit card then easily or buy the brakes then, but will have to pay full price for them, more than likely. after spending the day with car guys i really want the brakes now so i can start getting on the track this spring. so torn.

give me your logic

Default I thought officers were supposed to be good at making

decisions!? Especially, on the spot ones.

Default Buy used stoptecs and rest dump in to credit card....

Kill 2 birds with one stone. Make A4 happy, make credit card more powerfull for other spendings(is that a word?)

Default Pay back the CC...

Some debts can be carried(house,car) but definitely not CC.

Then again if I did'nt follow my own advice I'd already have an A4

Default I would get the stoptechs for $1k

thats a good deal, it may be hard to find a price like that later on.

Default look at it objectively

Does the discount you are getting on the brakes outweigh the extra financing charges you will incur? If so, hit. If not, skip.

Or look at it subjectively and get the damn brakes!

Default lol. i think i'm gonna get the brakes

i'm not going to have a grand in interest, but i'll have to pay an extra grand for new stoptechs. and i can probably have it paid off in a few months putting x% of my small *** pay check towards it. maybe even before the summer
