RevJim 0 #2 January 23, 2003 Bills, bills, bills. Gotta get 'em paid off, or the next thing you know you're in way over your head, can't seem to dig back out, and not only will you not have enough money for a newer rig, but you won't have jump money either. Back bills can end up as wage garnishments. Pay 'em, then get a rig.It's your life, live it!

skybytch 273 #14 January 23, 2003 Tax refunds = New gear Not for me, though. My rig will do just fine for another year or so. I thought about tunnel camp, but why spend all that extra to fly to Florida when there's going to be a perfectly good tunnel 15 minutes from my house by Labor Day? I'd love to get a new car, but I doubt my refund will be enough for a down payment even after adding the trade in value of my current wheels. An enduro motorcycle would be a fun toy, and even somewhat practical for getting to and from work - they do get good gas mileage after all. But again, I doubt I'll get enough money to buy one that's in really good condition. So yeah. It's probably going to be spent paying off credit cards and other assorted bills. If there's anything left after that I'll get a DVD player and go make a jump or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mouth 0 #19 January 23, 2003 I've already ordered a new Javelin and a new Sabre 2. I already have 2 cypreses so no need for another one. All I need now is a new helmet. The rest of the refund will go toward my Perris trip. -- Hot Mama At least you know where you stand even if it is in a pile of shit. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DYEVOUT 0 #22 January 23, 2003 That's when you let the feds use your hard earned money - interest free - for a year, and then they give it back to you.

riggerrob 643 #23 January 23, 2003 When the tax refund arrives, my significant other and I are going to have rousing debate over how to use the money. We will debate whether to invest the money for retirement (it looks like I am going to have to work a lot harder and smarter for the next 20 years if I am going to be able to afford retirement), invest it in flying lessons (I am within $5000 of a commercial pilot license), buy a used video camera, etc. The big question here is whether the camera will pay for itself in the short run. Even better would be for the camera to pay well enough to complete the commercial pilot's license, and pay for the instrument rating next winter and pay for the multi-engine rating the winter after that, etc. The toughest part will be convincing my boss that the new camera mount is worth it. It looks like I will have to invest the money in the camera and then allow the students to nag him into paying me for using the camera. He he! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ozthebum 0 #24 January 23, 2003 Gonna use it for jump tickets when I get stationed back in Tampa in July. Got my re-enlistment bonus late last year and used it to pay off all my bills AND buy a used rig and all the equipment I need for now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
