I am so glad that you have sought help here and thankfully I can help you.
Now clearly this negative talk about buying more stuff is a symptom of a latent suppression of the healthy and natural desire to buy more gear...goodness knows where it comes from but you must fight this negativity.
The first thing to do is make a short list of suitable scopes and add to each a mount that will do it justice..now along each set up you make a note of the loan you will need and the most suitable bank or credit union you will honour by involving them in your investment..now right there..note the proper terminology.. it is an investment..don't fall for this "buying stuff" phrase... it is put into our heads by negative people simply to cause us suffering.
Now I am probably much younger than you so I will remind you to employ that youthful enthusiasm I call upon and don't ever use that long in the tooth reference ever again...
It is offensive to old people.
You can set an example to us younger members.
Try not to sell any of your current scopes but think more about the size of the coffin you will need to accomodate both you and all your scopes...
Now I want you to visit at least five web sites and come back with a long list to share with others so we can help you cut down to the short list of three..now when we have that list you print out many copies and nail them around your house to remind yourself to concentrate on the best investment ..also have photos ready to show to check out girls and strangers to affirm to yourself that you are going to do this...you don't want to lose face by not going ahead..particularly with complete strangers.
Good luck.
Alex
