Should I go into great debt for this?
Ok I can't really afford the house I live in but I need help... Maybe psychiatric care [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
My son is the BIGGEST NBA fan in the world. I have always dreamed of one day surprising him and taking him to a game on the court. Well I am in a position to get 2 courtside tickets to a game. The smart thing to do is wait until after I win the WSOP [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] and take him then. But like I said you can't even buy these tickets. They're sold for years in advance. Even if I deceide to try to get them I may not be able to do it ..... financially. But the question is would you just wait until you could afford something or do you just go for it? Oh I almost forgot the face value on these tickets are $580 each. I don't know if I'll ever get another opprotunity to do this for my son. My thoughts are what if I can get them for $500. Is it worth it then? Help please thanks

$1k is not that much debt dude [/ QUOTE ] I was kind of embarrassed to ask for opinions [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] I know it's not much to all the balla's out there. But I don't make too much money. I also have 4 kids who take up a lot of my cash with boy scouts, soccer, girl scouts, food etc

A thousand dollars is an absurd amount to pay for a basketball game. Really ridiculous. That said, a thousand bucks is just a thousand bucks. If your son is as big a fan as you say, this will be a lifelong fond memory.
...I don't have kids, but man, I think I would really regret not doing this for my son.

Well, one thing to consider is if you do this for your son you've got three other kids you HAVEN'T spent 1k on who will probably be a little jealous.
If it's that much to you, he'll still be impressed with seats a bit higher up.

1k/52weeks = $20/week.
I don't know how tight things are, but if you have any vice take a year off. IE, skip a few drinks, cook instead of eating out. I think it also depends on how old your son is to determine how much he would appreciate it.

if you do decide to do it. Make sure to actually enjoy the game, don't worry about how much it costs after you've already paid for the game.
