Cash is KING.
I was paying $1600 a month for my Daytona. Combine that with a $500 a month insurance bill and $250 a month to store the boat. It was costing me almost $2400 a month before gas and beer. :yikes:
I agree....I only wish I had figured that out before I was 35......oh well better later than never!!Quote:

I feel the same way now but it took until I was almost 40 to learn my lesson. The funny thing is, before the economy went down I had over half a million dollars in cars and boats but the reality of it was once I stopped making the payments I actually owned/had nothing. That is why everything I have now is paid for. It's nice not having any payments but it feels even better knowing that the bank can't come get it.Quote:

I also own all my stuff including my Chevy and boat, I worked my ass off getting my kid to the pros in motocross and to buy my boat with cash. I use some cards to party down at the river, but always pay em off. I hate taking a dime out of the savings for anything, you can come over to my house and i'll buy a shitload of beer and BBQ, but don't ask me for a dime.
Good for you Grads.....way to go :thumb::thumb::thumb:Quote:
