<prompt> Human: I am going on a 2 week road trip across the USA. I am a photographer and really want to get this 1800 lens I make 80,000 a year but am currently 5,000 in credit card debt paying 8.4 apr. I put 2,000 or more a month at my credit card debt. I should have it paid off in a couple months. Should I open a third credit card with 0 apr to get this lens through amazon? Should I not get this lens and deal with what I have and get out of debt? and maybe stop living out of my means? Assistant: You can rent the lens for a couple hundred bucks:Human: I thought about this. But Id rather own it than rent it. It just seems like a bigger waste of money for what you get.  <response>: Well, if you dont have the 1800 for the lens, then its kind of a moot point, right? Renting the lens is like 10 of that cost, and should be the only option you are entertaining other than going without the lens at all.
