Fantastic news for you lol
That van has served me well.
You and Tim Doll, I believe he has a S2000 and does the same thing occasionally.
It is a rocket....If I had an S2000 it wouldn't be stationary long enough to put rockets in it.
I am wanting something like that to transport a jawstand rail pad and the usual launch gear from the parking lot to a good pad position in my local park.
Ever been in the Navy aboard an aircraft carrier with 300 guys sleeping in a room the size of a 1k sq ft house. And you have to wait inline for one of 12 showers with a bunch of naked guys? And you can only run 500ā in any direction in all weather cold and hot, and with 50 to 60 jet a/c turning out 600 degree exhaust on you? For 6 months might I add? Iād rather be in the truck.
Good call!That's why I joined the Army
That's styling. WOW
Should have stayed away from the brown shoes! A destroyer only had 60 guys in 120 sqft and 4 showers. But no jets making noise, just the gas turbine engines right through the aft bulkhead. Of course you get a fun ride when the weather got rough, unlike those huge carriers that barely wiggle in 20 ft seas.
good times
+1 take my advice, do everything you can. while you still can. life can change forever in 10 minutes.
What @Hobie1dog said. Don't save for your kids. Spend it all on yourself! They will agree!
I don't even have kids, so that part is easy!
It just isn't how I was raised.
I hear where you are coming from. We retired last year but are concerned about how long the money will last. At the same time, we want to spend our money and do things while we still can. 10 years from now, when we are older, we might still have the money, but not be physically able to do what we want. Our philosophy is, do it now while we can.I don't even have kids, so that part is easy!
Honestly, I was brought up with the 1950's-60's mentality of 0 debt, honor your obligations, make sure you're taken care of 150% so you can help others if times get hard. My wife always beats me in Monopoly, because she mortgages every property as soon as she can and I wait until I make the money to improve a property. I stay ahead for the first 1/3 of the game, but she kills me for the remainder. I think she understands money better than I do. . .
I know Hobie personally and he is a perfect example of getting screwed through no fault of his own, but it has happened and he has to deal with it. I obviously don't wish things like that on anyone, but understand it happens to random good people every day too. I remember my granddad worked 2-3 jobs at a time over his career and when he retired, he wanted to visit every state in the US. He had his first heart attack around a month after he retired and during that era that turned you from a functional man into an old man who couldn't be too far from home.
I could pay cash for the darn RV if I wanted, so money isn't extremely tight for our situation, but my upbringing keeps me wanting to have a good amount of accessible savings, just in case. . .AHHHHHHHHHAHHH!!!! I feel like Tweak from Southpark on this one. . . I wish 20 years from now me could pop in for a second, hit me with a pipe wrench and knock the correct decision into my head.
There is no question that every day that passes is one less, though. . .
