Camaro has gotten it all the past 2 years. Modding is pretty much done with it now though. Hopefully buying a house next year.

LMAO no one's said women. that's hilarious

**310stanger** · 08-21-2007, 08:26 PM

i jus recently decided to curb my beer habit for awhile for this very reason. not to mention the drinking isnt good for me and its not doing anything good for me anyways

**Hi-Po** · 08-21-2007, 08:36 PM

I pretty much buy a 12 pack a night. 12 bucks.

One can of chew every two days. 2.62 $

I dont smoke weed.

Although, I have more than 11 grand in the bank. Cash money.

Been saving for a long time now. Work at least 5 days a week, and at least 8 1/2 hours a day. I worked ten tonight. I am saving for a house I suppose. I really wish I had the balls to go buy my car. But I don't. I have worked too hard to blow it on something that wont make me more money. 21, dying to be more independent. Fast car doesn't make me independent, just makes me get boners when I drive.

I don't curb my beer drinking. I work hard as fuck everyday, I play hard as fuck everyday.

Nah, its not a 12 pack a night. More like, 6 to 8.

But when I get off work, I have already drank 6 to 8 of that 12 pack, so I buy another. See?

I know 11 grand will get me into a home. But how nice? I have looked at a thousand houses, some I loved to death. They were expensive as hell. High 100"s. Others were low 100's and needed some fixing's. I dont wanna fix a ton of shit. I also dont want my payment to be 1200 amonth

i bought my first house 4 years ago, didnt need much fixing but some updating. Its now worth 20 grand more than i paid for it and i rent it out. its theres alot of options out there.

Im thinking of saving 15 grand, so I can put down about 8500 comfortably and still have some left over for "them damn things".

I duno, Im still so young, I don't like making these 160,000 dollar decisions. Much rather make a 20,000 dollar decision..... ya kno?

Thread officially high jacked.... I will jump off the plane so you can have the thread back.

Down payment?

Cost of house?

**bmyers** · 08-21-2007, 09:01 PM

i think it cost me about 3000-4000 to get into it.
that house was 73,000
It appraises for 90,000
I rent it out for 700 a month

the one i live in now was 132,000
havent done a whole lot to this one yet.

That is a mature attitude, stick with it. and BMyers is right, you should go for the house. You are obviously ready for it.

**02ultraZ** · 08-22-2007, 07:01 AM

For me I would have to say food. I work in downtown harrisburg and there are so many great places to eat lunch. I'm too lazy and don't get up early enough to bring lunch in, so I'm spending between $8 and $13 every day depending on where I eat.

So my average is $10.50 per day for lunch.
$10.50x5=$52.50 per week.
$52.50x52=$2730.00 per year.

Thats for one meal of the day. If I pay for breakfast/dinner it's even more.

Alcohol is another expense I could do without and save big $.

That was exactly what I had. Sold it a few weeks ago.

**Daniel P.** · 08-22-2007, 09:19 AM

Mine goes in the bank, but I started school this week and havent started workin yet so I have lots goin out with books and such to pay for, but none comin in. Not enough goin out to make a significant dent in the Bank account but enough to where it hurts.

**nhraformula** · 08-22-2007, 07:52 PM

the amount of money i spend on bullshit is sickening

When I said going out/drinking I meant x2 since I have to pay for the women as well. Shit is so much cheaper when it's just me, her and them damn $6-10 drinks give me a $2 bud light and i'm good to go. 75% of the time we go out to each it cost more for her drinks than her food.
