I figure I’m gonna sell some things
I have an extra microphone I don’t even like that much but it’s worth a lot . I also have a Wii U.
Maybe I can get $400 on eBay. I need a new laptop to make my music. Is $400 enough to get a good sturdy laptop??
Fortunately 2 days I get my disability check for every day things. I’m done with the credit card now. Only debit for me.
@Jonnybegood good luck 
Yeah when I went off my meds I ran up the credit card bill crazy high I maxed it out almost. I don’t have the money to and now everything is breaking and gotta buy new stuff. Ahh when life hits you in the face. Life’s expenses. So I gotta sell these things. I feel like such an idiot. One day I will pay back my credit card debt with no ones help either.
It seemed those September/October months went so slow and I just partied all the time wasted so much dough.
I never use my debit only cc. Pay with cc and get cash back, and then pay off, more cash back. Also, I had problems twice with someone stealing my debit cards info. I’d rather have issues with a cc company than my bank. Besides, it’s so easy to freeze my cc. Just go to app and boom! Good luck with reconciling your finances @Jonnybegood maybe Santa will help you. At least you got a new ride. Any pics?
Check out the other thread. I accept a gift present of a new ride but I don’t want anything else lol or else I feel too advantageous??? I need to do the rest on my own. My parents do enough for me. I try to make them do as little as they choose to. Credit cards are better but I’m afraid I’m too irresponsible with money. Don’t trust me with lots of money, don’t trust me with a credit card either. I don’t trust myself any longer with the cc.
That’s very wise to recognize that! Maybe in time it’ll change 
. Enjoy your ride 
Laptops cost a lot and deliver very little. For about $300 USD you can get an off-lease Dell Precision desktop. I have three. Mine were about 3.5 years old when I got them. Dual Xeon Octacore CPUs, 32 GB of RAM, and dual 4 GB video cards. They have RAID controllers and I put in striped 250 GB SSDs for another $250. Sucker boots Win 10 in less than three seconds.

For software…
Free and mind-blowing. Runs on Linux, which is also free. Means you can put all of your $$$ into good hardware.
Edit:
Here’s an example of shopping off-lease…

I spent about $150 CDN for the entire playout system including FullHD monitor and Win10 Pro license. The automation software I use is free. It was so cheap that I’ve got a second desktop as a hot spare ready to go.
You could buy a high quality computer that’s refurbished. It’ll save you a lot of money.
