Anyone else having money problems?
I work full time at Delta Airlines as a dispatcher and go to college full time. I am paying on a 2000 Civic ex. and a 99 Kawasaki Ninja. Added to that insurance on both, life insurance, credit card debt (that I am trying diligently to get rid of) I don't seem to have much to mod my car right now. Then it seems that whatever money I do get, my fiance has plans for it. Anyone else in that boat.

Check this out: I have 2 rather large expenses in the very near future.
1. I wrecked my car. Sad, I know. The entire front end needs to be replaced. $3000, $1000 deductible. But wait: There is some good news. The insurance company is going to send me a check. Cost of new hood + refinishing + OEM headlight and foglights assemblies= $919. Cost of Fiber Images Carbon Fiber hood + JDM headlights = $775. So I'm getting my JDM headlights and CF hood and saving $150. 2. My girlfriend (in the sig) has her birthday next week. Hotel Suite- $359 Diamond Pendant- $228 Expected Dinner Bill- $150 Flowers- $75 Alcohol for Party at Hotel- $200 Birthday she'll never forget- priceless So yeah, not only am I broke, but a lot of my recently paid off credit card debt is about to be renewed. Just hafta get it paid off again by Christmas. |

yeah man, you're not the only one. my wife and i combine makes $80k annualy. for some reason, i'm feel very broke. as i mention on my other post, i have no mortgage, one stepson (fully supported by the real dad), 2 car payments, insurance, a loan....... yet, i'm still broke!
on a different note: 2000pimpinex, do u happen to know the average salary of those aircraft mechanic make? i do a similar job in the NAVY, but for ships. just wondering, in case i get out. peace |
I don't know off the top of my head but starting mechanics for Delta makes more than gate agents. Plus they are supposed to be getting a huge raise soon or they might strike like the pilots did.
|
Same boat!

LoL, never heard that one before.. -------------------------------------- Yup money is tight. Modding a car is an expensive hobby.. But you gotta love it! :cool: |
I love modding her and it is a slow process but well worth it in my book. Someday, she will be were I want but then I will find something else to do to her. Modding a car is a never ending process.
|
I'm with you all. This damn car is an expensive hobby. Maybe I'll become a "STREET PHARMACIST"....;)

I know.. I think thats part of the reason I keep coming up with excuses.. we've been dating for almost 4 years.. she lives with me know.. so Im not far from it.. but man.. I just cant make myself do it.. |
I think its just better to go ahead and get engaged. At least you won't have to hear her complain about it. You know, if your going to eventually.

Your right, but I dont want to spend the money on a ring, and Im not one of these people that can buy a little ring and be happy with it..I want to get her at least a 1/2K.. |
I bought mine a full karat. It cost a fortune but shes worth it, or at least I hope so. She don't know it yet but my wedding band is going to cost her some money. I don't want the normal band that everyone gets.

Heh....Paybacks...... j/k |
Last week I owed my parents $1600 for all my rims and stuff. Now I got paid and got some insurance money so i am $1000 in the clear. So much better than having to give my parents all my money.
|
Damn I WISH My PareNTs WOuLd LeNd mE mOney.
|
No doubt. If I could borrow 1600, I would buy the greddy turbo. Couldn't buy anything else for it till next month but at least I'd have the turbo.
