TLontheDL Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I don't spend money on tools and cars. I spend them on girls and food and now I'm working overtime to make up for it. :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleanGSR Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I always spend too much money now that we have a kid. Plus his 1st birthday is coming up so we have all the costs of throwing him that party plus Bday presents. I need to replace my timing belt and water pump on my car but have been putting it off because we're beyond broke. Hopefully it doesn't snap and bend my valves.

SIR_VTEC Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Clean: parts are decently priced online if your doing the job yourself, but if you take it anywhere then thats way expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleanGSR Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Clean: parts are decently priced online if your doing the job yourself, but if you take it anywhere then thats way expensive. Well, I want to use OEM parts, so they are still fairly expensive. I'm probably looking at $150-200 for the parts which we just don't have right now with Brandon's Birthday party expenses. Oh well.......I'm sure it will be fine since I drive really easy all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahhh gotcha...yeah OEM is always more than aftermarket...your son comes before your daughter heheh...but yea man if i can get the parts discounted at a good price i'll let you know from Acura (a guy discounts parts since i get the nsx serviced through them) i'll let you know, you just need a timing belt and waterpump? *Update* Nate: I can get everything for $140.00 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wannaBstuntin Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Same here. I've saved just about every penny in the past 2 months. I bought a hydraulic jack and jack stands for $100 last week. Just a few seconds ago, I bought this. And tomorrow, I'm going to pay my %#$@ing tuition, which pretty much cleans me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sapphyre Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 we always spend too much money... we spend about $120/month just on soda (i'm addicted to diet coke), about $300 on tobacco products and I've lost count of how much fast food chris eats every week & how much money gets spent on going out to dinner, movies etc. I blew $40 in walmart yesterday and I'm not entirely sure what I bought... which kind of sucks because I need more eyeshadow, and my eyeshadow runs about $16 for one.

Mitchness Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I too save for what I want so I don't have money worries dogging me. Granted it takes longer to get what you want, but patience>debt. But the girlfriend is definitely the way to drain the pocketbook without me knowing. The credit card bill keeps surprising me every month now!

wannaBstuntin Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Why did you buy a radar detector? I always thought they were garbage...but seems like you got the terminator of all detectors lol Just in case. Cost me $300 shipped, which is less than each of the 2 speeding tickets I've gotten. I also had to do a 6 hour defensive driving class twice because of those, which I also had to pay for. I only go about 70-80 tops, and I don't pass other cars at more than 5mph over what they are doing, but with this long trip next week, and a 2 hour commute to school, I'd rather not get any more tickets. we always spend too much money... we spend about $120/month just on soda (i'm addicted to diet coke), about $300 on tobacco products and I've lost count of how much fast food chris eats every week & how much money gets spent on going out to dinner, movies etc. I blew $40 in walmart yesterday and I'm not entirely sure what I bought... which kind of sucks because I need more eyeshadow, and my eyeshadow runs about $16 for one.
