Well as the title states I had to sell my comp. Being a Dad comes first. I got a little carried away with spending and my funds were low and my daughter got sick. She started having Gallbladder issues and needed surgery. Tried to take out a quick loan but they weren't moving fast enough and the deductible was holding us up. So I couldn't make her wait 3 days for the loan so the P.C had to go. It has been a little while since her surgery and she is doing great so it was worth it without a doubt. Don't know why I posted this other than my broken heart. Because my comp was strong! O well things can only be better the next time.

You should always plan accordingly for any medical/legal issues or "Acts of God" so to speak with a financial "cushion" in case. Though sadly, proper Economics can't always play a role in real life.

 

Sucks, hopefully you can rebuild a bigger and badder PC in the coming months. At least your daughter is fine!

aww but you did the right thing

I know I did! Just trying to think about what's next! Gaming laptop like the G751 or Gt80 titan. The new Aio from Msi that can take a full size gpu. Not sure!

Fair enough. I'm happy that at least the main issue at hand was handled and your daughter is feeling better.

It's so strange, I watched a documentary about this massive hospital (basically a patient farm) in LA and the guy got out his credit card to pay the assistant at the end and I just felt so uncomfortable.

Thank God for not having to pay

Yet all people seem to do is complain about how slow it is.

 

I'd rather wait an hour to use the X-ray machine than pay £XXXX for the privilege. Okay emergencies are different, but you get what you pay for and we uh, don't pay :D

 

Back on topic, well done sir. Commendable actions.

This was the one time I wish I wasn't against credit cards!

It's mostly slow because of how mismanaged it is, no government has really cared about it or given enough money to do what it needs to do.
