uberkevin Posted April 5, 2016 Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 No no.. You have time.. just gotta wait for it. Be it 5 years or 2 years time will come. Unless you need another D.D to get your fam around. But then! You save a little then sell ONE! With the ka just to get a little bit more. Cuz you can come up on another ka any day. 2 Quote Link to comment
datson4life Posted April 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2016 Thanks kevin.... I said almost to the point. Not quite there yet lol, just tired of not having time to work on them. But on the bright side i accumulated 1 week vacation so far, in under 90 days at my new job. Its been years literally where i can have a full free day just to myself....also i used to get full ka swaps for 500, i recently looked at prices they are above 1k now. Lame 1 Quote Link to comment
