Mostly I just need to vent here in the void a little bit because the stars aligned for me to take a shot, but I know it wouldn’t be the smartest decision. Basically I found out that a local retailer near me will be getting a Bell & Ross BR03-92 Nightlum (is now discontinued) next week! They called after I gave the agent there my number and I didn’t expect to hear from them ever again as B&R discontinued that variant a while ago. I was prepared to wait a long time, which would have given me more time to save up.

I am graduating with my masters in a few short weeks which I’m very excited about, but part of that career transition will mean that I start in a different line of work at a job yet to be determined. I’ve been looking but no offers yet. My apartment lease also ends in February so I have that to consider also.

I really want to go ahead and get this, for doing so well in my program, and while I do have a comfortable savings account right now, I just can’t justify $4k on something so frivolous.

There is one available on jomashop, which is significantly cheaper, but I’ve heard horror stories… the timing just sucks. Story of my life lol.
