Holy - hold my wallet ... I must challenge myself.

This mount is currently on the Blizzard website... For $90 US dollars.  Yes- $90 dollars.  I have never paid so much for a blizzard product.  Even Epic edition expansions are under $90.  The most I've ever paid for a product for a game is $30 for a Diablo 3 Amiibo that is a Loot Goblin. (Well worth it, it gives a daily puzzle ring, which is a guaranteed loot room for upgrades.)  And even at $30, it was only about $5 more than what would have been retail costs on Amazon.

 One of the nice things within Blizzard store though is you don't have to use real money to buy things. Yes you heard me correctly.  You don't have to use real money to buy things.  Blizzard has these tokens that you can buy for ingame currency and turn that into real money.  Now at the moment the tokens are inflating due to everyone doing this same thing RIGHT NOW...but I don't anticipate this mount going away anytime soon, since it was just announced today.  I should have a few months to square things away and hope ingame prices fluctuate back down to a more reasonable cost.

But my goal is to earn enough ingame currency to buy this $90 mount and not have paid any real money for it.  I think I can do it, I'm currently half way there and should be able to gain that if I continue to earn gold.  If I don't get it, well, I'll just have that much in game gold!

I finished studying Job

 Like any good book, I finished studying Job and now I feel like I’ve lost that ‘good friend’ because I’ve finished the book.  I’ve read Job...
