Mark, I'm not going to bug you about it and, frankly, I don't care whether you get yourself in financial trouble or not. But I will offer up some unsolicited "fatherly advice." If you're dead set on getting a Cobra and financing it, why don't you first try putting your down payment into an interest bearing account and then make the anticipated monthly payments for a year in to that account. You can't miss a single payment (for any reason), and you can't touch that money even for emergencies. If after the end of a year that didn't bother you, then pull the money out and get your Cobra. The year will also give you a chance to shake off a temporary bout of "Cobra-Heat" -- if you haven't shaken it off in a year it's probably the real thing. |
