You've been going on about this puppy for quite some time. Based on other posts, there is no way you will be finically well off to have a puppy. Being able to buy one is one thing, but they cost a ton going forward. YEARS and YEARS..... unexpected health problems, regular medical visits, food, training classes, toys, other supplies etc.
When I got my puppy, he was cheap and affordable, but within 2 months of having him, I already spent a few thousand on medical bills. He had issues that I wasn't aware of. That went on through his whole life, 15 years.... and he was nicknamed "the million dollar dog" because of it. If you can not afford something like this potentially happening, especially with a purebred dog, please don't get a dog. Volunteer with one, foster one (rescues will pay expenses), start a pet sitting business etc.... while dogs are great, they are a long term commitment and surely not cheap.
I'd suggest trying to find a better job or a side job for added money so you can have some more finical stability when times like this come up again. None of us can tell you what to do, but what I'd suggest you or anyone in your position NOT do, is get a dog, just because you want one. Please think of that dog and the long term.
Also, it would be nice to see you show support for others on their posts here, I never see you post anywhere but your own threads. While it's fine people support you, many others here are hurting or in tough situations, and could also use support. Just saying.
EDIT: Also, please consider rescuing a dog, VS buying a puppy from someone. Ask this woman if you can get your money back, or at least some of it, and save it toward a rescue dog, possibly in the future. I am surprised anyone is willing to "hold" a puppy, they go fast and usually they will give them to someone who can pay them in full
