    Haha

    His name is Eric, he’s part of our audiophile group.

    And no, I think my kids’ piano supersedes my own audio interests for now.

    Never thought a Yamaha baby grand would cost more than the dual Gothams I was so envious about... it’s not even a Steinway.

    Figured I could start them off with the baby grand - and especially with the player I could enjoy some actual instrument tunes rather than listen to speakers. And then if one of them really takes to it and really wants a nice piano then maybe I can entertain a Steinway or the larger 7’6” Yamaha CX7 (with piano player of course ;) ).

    Save yourself 70% and get a gently used one... then do the same for the Gotham’s... two birds, one wad of cash. :pB)o:)

    Can’t. No one has the full player set up with silent. I tried.

    Atleast I’ll get full trade in in the future.

    That's wonderful! Congratulations! Was it as hard as you say? The point is - I want to take a loan for the same reason, but I don't know if it's a good idea. Maybe I don't need to be studied at all, LOL. One of my friends told me about those guys https://credit-10.com/za/konga-loans/. He says, that they give a good loan with a low rate (about 3% or something). What can go wrong? Share your experience with me. Maybe I should go to the bank with this? Or loan organization, which my friend told about is not so bad?

    Been a while since I've paid mine off, but it was a great feeling. And, just a few years back, all of my kids student loans have been paid off as well (by the Mrs and I of course).
    That too was a time of great joy! :smile:

    Congrats on being 1 of the 45 million people to exit the student debt club.
    It's difficult to judge a person's tone over these nets, but somehow I can sense a definite bitterness to Viking's post.

    When I respond to spammers, I don't quote them directly, because if their post ever gets deleted, it is possible that my post with the quote might not be noticed by the mod and the link in their quote would remain.

    Plus, if I was responding to Joey, I would have used a picture of a pug wearing ridiculous shorts!

    I hope your kids thank you all the time. Everytime I talk to friends who's parents pay for their school, I tell them to call their parents and say thank you immediately.

    Wow! Congratulations, friend! Taking a loan is a very serious and important thing, and we should be very careful with it. It can cause a lot of problems, if you don't have a good financial education. You did a great job by paying for this student loan. I have recently taken a loan from https://foxycredit.com/no/, and it's very difficult to pay for it, so I know what I am talking about. It's really good that you are loan free, I am happy for you.
