Yeah as you all know, I'm a father now and DAMN proud of it too.. I did some number crunching today and found that sadly the PSR-740 won't be in my home in the near future. With the new baby and me being the primary source of income for my familiy, my finances have been stretched paper thin. In a way it erks me that I cannot buy one because Music123 has them for such a low price! Only $599.00.. That's dirt cheap. Some places are still selling them for $1,099... My wife made an interesting point the other day. I've owned many keyboards in the past, but when I sell the ones I don't want anymore I always go back to Yamaha.... I never really realized how much of a supporter I am for the company. Sure I've been upset with some of the models, but I always go back to them.... Oh well maybe WAY down the road I can get a PSR-740... We'll see what happens

later

Squeak,
Sam Ash is having a major financing special, and they will always meet the competitions prices. I think you can finance it with THEIR card till September ! No interest, no payments! Check it out.

I know the feeling squeek, I became a father 3 months ago and my wife just went back to work. I am still strechting out every penny but we should be in better shape soon.

Congrats on your baby, I hope you are getting some sleep.

Arnothijssen,
Conrgats on your baby too! Yeah kids really squeeze the green right out of your pocket. Still it's a great feeling knowing that I can provide for both my wife and daughter. My wife is unable to work due to the child and school... We're both college students and I'm also an employee of the college I attend... My wife has a full Presidential Scholarship so with that and the kid she can't work or she'll lose her scholarship. I truly admire her though. Her scholarship is the highest you can get by a college. She is on a FULL ride because she's so damn smart! (hope the baby gets that from her too) She has to keep her GPA at a 3.5 or better. If she falls below the 3.5, bye bye scholarhip. last time I checked her GPA was 3.97.... However, I have to pay some out of pocket expenses for college. I'm lucky that I'm an employee here because I get HUGE waivers and don't really have to pay for much, but it's still expensive.. The great thing is my work pays me to go to college... Get paid while I attend class.... Anyways with school, the wife, kid, rent, utilities, and other bills, it's obvious why my pockets are always empty.. Maybe somewhere down the road I'll be able to get another board for myself... I can say the daughter will be getting a keyboard as soon as she's old enough to play.. I can tell she's going to have good piano fingers...
