make me one broke mofo

AAAh, but when all those boxes arrive, just look at the fun you'll have opening all those presents from Santa Ben!
Don't feel bad bro, I spent so much on mine a while back, I haven't caught up yet! I'm thinkin' of cashing in an IRA to finish the car!

yeah im thinking of temporarily suspending contributions to my investment account..

hope it doesnt get desperate and make me susupend retirement for a while also..

I'm almost looking at it like an alternative investment. A done big block convertible is worth more than the sum of it's parts! Kinda like drivin' your 401.
I have a couple of other heaps that need to be built, that one fund would finance the completion of all 3.
Any financial advisors out there?

Hey, it's only $$$ and you can't take it with you when you die. Might as well enjoy it.

Now please don't tell me/us you have a better place to spend your hard earned cash.
