You sound like you are in the same boat i was 2 months ago....I'm also 28 and I finally wised up and ended my contract with HCM. They made me pay an ass load for a non-lace piece...Ive been doing my maintenance for a while now and finally decided to take the plunge on line and purchase it myself...

The quality of these pieces are remarkable from the corporate places....and for a fraction of the cost.
