The E-magnum must go...

[Butterfingers]

As much as it saddens me to do this it must be done.

The gun will be given to Don tomorrow so that he can sell it for me.

Given my current financial obligations and the upcoming semester I can no longer afford to keep the e-magnum.

I owe the princeton review over $1200 for my MCAT review course and I need money for books next semester.

I have thought long and hard and there is no way around it. The e-magnum must go.

This marker has brought me much joy for the time I have owned it and it saddens me that I have no other options but to let it go. But as always, sometimes sacrafices must be made in the game of life, and my education always takes priority over material posessions.

I hope the new owner will find as much pleasure in its ownership as I have.

Perhaps in the future I will buy an extreme e-mag. But for now the e-magnum is for sale.

I know how ya feel. well sorta. i dont have to do it right now, but in the future(dont know near or distant) I'm gunna need to get a car and I wont have as much time to play paintball so I'll probably be sellin my emagnum. but I luv it so much i dont wanna think about that. I just wanna get out and play

To put it in a rudimentary manner, that sucks.
The greatest thing about being in the field of sciences such as biology is that things are revised constantly. So, the 300 dollars worth of books you just bought will be out of date by next semester, and will thusly sell for 1/10th the price to a used-book store. To make matters worse, some professors only refer to the text in passing, or not at all.
Personally, I would have skipped the review, though. But, my mind operates differently from most when it comes to standardized tests.

Good luck!

It's the grownup thing to do. Sounds to me like you got it together!

Toys should always come second. Invest in your future now so you can have ALL the toys later.

Hehehe, I already spent over my allowance to paintball this year. I have cut back significantly already

It ends at 45?! I'm almost halfway dead

hardr0ck68,
I could tell you what I have and what I sacrificed to get here at age 34, but it would probably sound like bragging, so I won't. But, I will say that the choices you make starting at 16 years old does have an out come on where you end up in life. Time is precious, use it wisely. Life will be very tough if you wait until your "40" to invest in your future. My biggest regret is not continuing my education after High school, I likely would have met many of my goals sooner if I would have....

Shartley,

Thanks for that. I've been in that situation (most everything going to family needs) for the last year. It's turning around, but that well written post helped remined me why I did it. Thanks again.
