Now, or next September
This is the comparison most people are actually running, and it is rarely framed honestly because the waiting option is presented as free. It is not.
The two options, side by side
| Buy in this window | Wait for next year | |
|---|---|---|
| Cost today | $2,497 or the first instalment | Nothing |
| Cost in twelve months | Whatever you built | Next year's price, plus a year unbuilt |
| What you get | Current method, live sessions, an intake | A different programme, unknown contents |
| Certainty | Known price, known dates | Neither is announced |
| Where you are next autumn | A year of published work behind you | Exactly here, making this decision again |
The verdict
Buy now, unless this autumn genuinely has no hours in it.
The reason is compounding rather than urgency. Content published this October is still being found next October; content not published never starts. Waiting does not delay the outcome by a year, it deletes a year of accumulation from the front of it.
When waiting is the right call
When the hours truly are not available - a demanding stretch at work, a move, a new baby. Not "busy", which is everyone, but a period where two or three hours a week genuinely does not exist.
In that case buying produces an unopened login and the money is worse than wasted, because it also buys a small amount of guilt. Waiting is the correct answer for that person and it is a narrow group.
The one thing waiting genuinely buys
Information about next year's programme, which you do not have now. If the current method does not appeal to you specifically - if short-form video and message conversations are things you would dread - then waiting for a different approach is rational rather than avoidant.
That is a real reason and it is distinguishable from deferral by one test: can you name what you are waiting for. If yes, wait. If it is just "next time", it is deferral.
What waiting actually costs, stated plainly
Not the price difference. Twelve months of not having started, during which the same question arrives again with the same answer available.
People who have watched two or three of these launches go past recognise this pattern. The decision is never made; it expires, and expiring feels less like a choice than it is.
What happens to people who watch two launches go past
They usually buy on the third, having lost two years to a decision they never formally declined. That pattern is common enough in this market to be worth naming.
The interesting part is that nothing changes on the third occasion except tiredness with the pattern itself. The programme is not better; the person is simply finished with deferring.
The middle option that does not exist
Buying "later in the window" is the same as buying now except the checkout is busier and the timezone arithmetic gets done under pressure. There is no discount for waiting until the 24th and there is a real cost to it.
