I did something similar to you and I surely don't regret it. Just love my Viking Diamond.
I am retired for ten years and have an older Viking, but when I saw the Diamond, I just knew that it would be mine!!!
I did it, am making payments on it, and in another 2 1/2 years it will be alllllll mine. Now it's just a matter of learning how to use it to it's fullest.

1 month ago I traded in my perfectly good Pfaff 2140 for a Bernina 820--why? For starters because I have been sewing 40 years. Because the new 820 is an incredible machine and I am old enough and wise enough to realize that we don't get a second chance at this life of ours. Because, I retired 9 months ago and have made 3 queens, 1 king, and several baby quilts--and am not likely to stop! Because research says that we need to find a way to "age in place". Well, as I age, I would just as soon that "place" be a good machine!

When I was selling real estate I specialized in 1st time buyer. The day that their offer was accepted I would give them a baggie of M&Ms and told them they were anti buyers remorse pills. Worked every time. Go get some M&Ms

As long as my husband was OK with it I would probably do the same.
The key for me would be my husbands input. I just wouldn't want to end up "hearing" about it forever and ever after. :lol:
