Poor impulse control + cash == bad combination

Written by Byttingvik at 01:16 9/5-2015

  So, instead of being patient and letting my cash just sit around until Monday I probably got conned by Team Stredet into picking up a young prospect from the hire list: Gerwin Lute at RV: ~$58k.
  
  Hopefully this won't derail my plans for wheelset. I'll just liquidate some crap jobbers in addition to my DP-farms.
