It's all in your priorities, and I'm not talking about buying new A-arms instead of new tires for your car. I'm talking about all the little stuff you don't think about, you'd be surpised at all the money you nickel and dime away. That Starbucks coffee you have each morning? Sure, it's only $4.25, but it adds up to nearly $100 a month in coffee alone. Cut your lunch from $10 to $3, and that's nearly $150 a month. Cut out the pizza, bar night with your buddies, and stop buying that $1.59 soda every time you stop for gas.

By cutting out all the little things, it can add up to better than $200 a month. Heck, that's a full ZPS suspension, a-arms and axle within a year!

no credit cards here... it's not to go in debt on a play toy... just my opinion

I lost my good paying job in December and had to move back in above the garage. It was humbling for sure. I got to pay for everything and I don't even have the pimpest schiz. I just keep it clean and running and I am rather stingy with my money too. Keeping up with the Jones' will ruin ya in long haul.

I hear ya man, some dudes most drop all they got into their rides. The ole "I got the baddest *** stoked, titanium, billet, lightweight, brand new everything quad....but I live in a cardboard box" syndrome. I could be wrong but that is sure the heck way it seems.:confused:

I like most people bust my ***** for it. I am 27 years old, married two kids. I don't use credit cards. I did not go college, I am a general manager of an auto shop. I worked for big auto dealers making $65,000 a year, high stress though. had a major heart attack at 26 years old. Now I run a small shop making about $45,000 a year. I also own a glass repair business. My wife works and is a body jewelery distributor. Money is out there, you need to prioritize and cut costs. Instead of going to a bar for a beer, get a six pack and stay home. Just like that, small things add up. Also think ahead. Invest and save $20 dollars today could be $2000 next year.
