I’ve been pursuing other avenues of revenue and have cut back on the hours to only full-time (40 hours) rather than the 70 hours I have been working. Too many other ways for me to make money and opportunity doesn’t pay the bills so I was a little hesitant about buying these fun little explosives in the first place. I decided that I wasn’t going to stop being positive and living my life as awesome as I always have. There are plenty of ways that I have to make money and now that I am focusing more on them I am already seeing dividends. There are times I just need to remind myself that my loyalty is always first and foremost to myself. Been there and done that with CDG and look where they are now.

I went over to Jake’s and as always made a deal. I would get the BIG BANG (A $1200 assortment) for half price, plus a couple of hundred dollars worth of other goodies all for $650 plus tax. Right within what I planned to spend. Jake himself made the deal and when he went to charge my card he accidentally refunded me $750 instead of charging me. Unbeknown to me, he then charged my card the $750 to even out the charges, but we all know refunds can take 3-10 days to post back. Well then he went and tried to charge my card the $750 again for the works, but by this time the bank suspected fraud and froze my account.

He was very honorable about it and tried to call his merchant services but couldn’t get anywhere. Then he kind of gave up and was like I loose a sale and you don’t have any fireworks. Like no freaking way do I save all year for this one little vice of mine and then walk away empty handed and to boot he wanted me to sign the sales slip. Imagine being asked to sign a sales receipt for $750 and have nothing to show. No way!

I called my bank and after going back and forth for about two hours we finally got his bank to cancel the entire transaction and this allowed me to not leave empty handed. I ended up spending about $350 for $1400 worth of fireworks which a very cool Jake doubled and made my day. It was a mistake and and I told him there was no need to do that at all. As long as we straightened it out, but he was insistent. Jake’s fireworks World on Hwy 51 in Atoka, TN is the absolute most honorable guy and a true gentleman.

It reaffirms my belief in the Law of God’s Universe. I didn’t give up and through a bit of positive energy I got the greatest deal and saved a bunch of money.
