Vannin.com @ the 40th Nats - April 24th 2012 12:45 am
ok, I have been mulling this over and have to open this up to you guys.
as most of you know, I bought a house at Thanksgiving, and my financial situation is a little off kilter right now.
what does this mean? I'm not sure I can afford to do the nats.
I think I will probably manage about half the cash I need between recent donations and other planned income, but I need to have enough cash to get home again, as well as to buy hot dogs for the meet and greet...
Normally, I'm putting away money every month to cover all of this, but this year, all that money is going into savings to buy firewood so I can stay warm next winter! Firewood has to be paid for by June/July. next year this shouldn't be an issue, as I will have more time to save.
there are so many reasons I really SHOULD go, but the almighty $$$ is a powerful reason under the "shouldn't go" column. (the only reason)
I have stickers to sell still! and am adding a page for shirts! (as soon as I figure out the whole inventory and shipping thing in PayPal!)
If you want to see a virtual nats happen, or hot dogs and beer at the meet and greet, I need your help!
