If you don't have money, why buy new? You can still buy new stuff a year or two down the road.

She's a great find - has her masters, works her butt off, is a pretty girl who has values (unlike so many other skanks) and, yes, I really like her.

So...you are out a TV and have yet to tap it.

Thats what I gleaned from this thread.

Not true at all, she speaks to her parents every day and I was over when they offered to help her buy furniture.

*UPDATE*
Lent the TV to her sans contract shortly after posting this. We got engaged and, recently, she moved in. Instead of bringing my TV along, she gave it to her old roommates and got us a new 32" LCD tv. It all worked out in the end.

known her for over a year, things just moved very quickly when she moved back to the city. wouldn't think forum people could understand, but my parents and friends do. which is all that really matters to me.

So, when you break-up, she'll take the new tv and you're out of a tv b/c your old one was given away.
