      You may even enjoy it more because you had to WAIT to purchase it.

        Yikes!!!   $30,000.00 in debt and you want to go even further into debt????  Why?  Have you ever calculated how much additional money you are paying out in the form of INTEREST?  Pay everything off and then SAVE for a vacation home.
