Living on an "Evo Budget" :(

Ever since I got my car I've been broke. Lol. I'm sure that most of the Evo owners out there feel the same way. I wanted to start a thread that will create a little bit of humor to keep our sanity.

Tell me Your "Evo Budget Stories" and I will share with you mine

Today I washed my clothes with dish washing liquid because I ran out of money to buy groceries and regular home supplies.

yea I was actually making a list of what I needed after Christmas, 1500.00 and that's if I stick with getting things used.

Have no money for food and am living off of what I made in the summer

If you can't afford to buy the regular necessity b/c you spend all your pay check on the car loan, then I really don't think you can afford the car.
This how a lot of people in this country go bankrupt b/c they spend the money they don't have.(credit)
I make sure the money I made at least half goes into saving, and set aside for car toys.
I wouldn't say "MOST" of the evo owner out there feel the same way as you.

I consider my self lucky. I bought the car in full, am in college, and work part time.

The part time work pays for gas.. (fill up almost 3 times a week) food, and insurance.

I can not wait until I get out of the police academy and can afford to pick up another car for a DD.

I'm sure not "MOST". I can definatly afford to pay my car. It's just fun to make fun of the fact that we("SOME" of us) have to be on a budget to own this car. Don't worry, I won't be one of the "MANY" people who go bankrupt. Unless ofcourse I decide to buy that "full race turbo kit" from ebay. *** it, I'm gonna get it. I'm going to be the fastest and most broke Evo owner out there. AMS, Yo, I got you!!

The last statement was me being sarcastic. I hope you enjoyed the humor as much as I did.
