I am planning on signing up for the lifetime membership at the end of June. I got rid of several pieces of older stuff I had lying around the studio and sold it on Craigslist to pay for the lifetime deal so it wouldn't come out of my pocket.
I have 1 more item to sale to reach the the $225.00 mark and I am in, and with change to spare. Also, I got the chance to get rid of some stuff I no longer use in the studio as it was taking up space.
