    Default Advice - should I buy this?

    I've been wanting to buy myself an elliptical machine for a while now. Not just any elliptical, but a Life Fitness elliptical. They have the most comfortable stride and I haven't found any others that I like enough to buy. But Life fitness ellipticals retail for around $3000 (and that's just the home version!). So I've been looking for used ones and haven't found any around my area... until now. I found one on craigslist about 3 hours away for $1000.

    So what's my problem? Well, I'm trying to save up some money, as you can see from my ticker. I made a goal of $10,000. I have $1000 cash in my hand right now. Should I put it in the bank, as per my original plan, or should I splurge and buy the elliptical? What would you do?

    Look into PreCor Equiptment as well. That being said It depends on what you are saving the $10,000 for.

    Ditto, on both points^^^^ I stay in a lot of Hilton Family hotels when I travel, and I love PreCor's equipment.

    Precor is also very expensive, so I don't think that would save me any money. Also, I do prefer Life Fitness. I'm saving for the far-off goal of buying land and building a house. I do already have some savings, but I'm trying to motivate myself into saving more, faster. I've been recently inspired by ViolaStrings and her goal to save $10,000. But I think I've reached a compromise. I will wait a week and pick up 2 extra shifts. If I've made enough money for it by then, and it's still available, then I'll go for it.

    I think you need to find a balance between your goal, and well, some "gifts" for yourself.

    Also, you need to rationalize it, would be at home instead of going to a gym, what was the gym cost per month, etc.

    Then again, I can almost rationalize anything, i rationalized spending 1800 on a bike.
    Also, iff there is no warranty, is that $$$ wasted, etc? Look and thinin longterm vs short term, along with your goals of saving to buy land/house..

    I say buy the elliptical. IF you will actually use it. You can't put a price on your health.
