Brother, you have more excuse for not buying a bike than anyone I've ever heard.

My only real excuse is money. Once I get the money (without raiding my retirement), I'll have a bike. Besides, the "remodel" on the garage won't take much work at all. I can get that shit done in a few hours. All it will take is a header board, a couple studs to hold up the header, then taking a sawzall to the wall. I'm really waiting on the money to buy a bike.

Hell, I've made it through 2 of the 3 steps I need. Bought the house and got out of debt (with the exception of the house). Now it's just a matter of saving up for the bike I want (I'm not going into debt again for anything).

I was thinking the same thing. F the car, put it outside.

Sorry Capt... had to join in on this one.

Received a conditional offer of employment today. Pay would be 2k above what I'm making now. Not much, but still better. Not to mention I'll have about a 5-10 minute drive to work instead of an 80-90 minute drive. Woohoo!! Job will start at the end of August. Just have to go through background check.

Glad to hear it, bud. Congrats.

marko138 · 07-21-2009, 08:04 AM

Congrats man. Kick back, gov't work is easy. And for the love of god, go buy a bike.

Thats great!! Not to mention, the money you'll save on gas too!! So technically its better than a 2k raise!

smileyman · 07-21-2009, 10:52 AM

Yep. Plus, heard from a friend of mine in a gov't job that you get automatic raises within the first year, which moves you up two pay grades. If this is true, I'll be making another 8k per year by Sept of next year. THAT will be sweet and will be the money I need to get a bike!!!!
