I don't buy anything for myself anymore besides food. Unless I really really need something then I'll force myself to get it. Everything else goes towards the evo fund No more buying electronics no more buying clothes, just parts and i love it

I parted out my k swapped 68mm turbo civic. Bought an evo with a bad trans and transfer case for cheap. So now its time for a 2.3 and the 68mm to go on the evo. I will have money leftover from the partout still, so essentially I bought an evo and modded it thanks to my civic lol.

Oh well, at least the trip to hell will be one helluva ride!
Best explanation so far

If you can't afford to finance your car and your standard of living then you have to decide what your priorities are. Is it food, lodging, education, car? Only you will know what that answer is and once you decide then you live with the consequences and quit your b!tching. Man Up!!

Hey how's it going Chem? I'm doing well. Listen here champ, I appreciate your concern and everything but you totally missed the joke. Let me be honest with you, I do not need a lesson on how to live life and on how to balance my finances. Thanks for preaching it to me though.

Oh yea, If you don't like the topic, you don't have to read it. There are plenty of other threads on this site.

Do you guys have kids? I have two who go to a private school, attend Kumon Learning Center and Tae Kwon Do classes. That's the reason why my Evo is still stock. But I recently stopped buying them clothes

They don't need clothes if they know how to defend themselves.

BTW I have a 16 year old and 14 year old so I feel your pain.
