My husband bought 2 laptops from Walmart. Both have been in use for several years with 1 issue between them which happened while it was still under warranty. So, even thought I despise Walmart, I say in a pinch purchase the laptop. Understand that it will not be up to date or with many bells and whistles.
Can't you sell one of your children to raise some cash? This is important! (Sorry if that was in bad taste.)
Thanks for this idea Sue, mine are too old to sell but can think of many to put forwards
I only have a grown daughter so that's not a possibility. I don't think she would let me have one of the grand daughters, even though she is expecting another one in January! I can afford the one from WalMart now but I do not know if it is a safe purchase, I suppose I could get it for the time being and next tax season buy a high end one? I just don't know...
