    What I’m hoping for is a bonus check similar to the one I just got every month....

    By the way, not all of it is accounted for in the above mentioned :D

    That being said, I’m hoping to have a little play money on the regular, so some KINGs or ADS is on my radar....hence the Deavers rather than the ICONs. That also being said, I might just pay off debt and go big next Black Friday like my buddies did

    SI.....even though it is retail :frusty:

    I’m still not opposed to looking for a less annoying and more grown up occupation of course. The problem is what’s available up here. I’ve just started thinking Alma might not be my last stop

    Big world out there. I live in the city, hate it, but it affords me the life outside the city whenever I choose to do so (often).

    Debt = PayDay loans to pay off the debt, which leads to Title Loans to pay off the PayDay loans, which leads to Guido coming to your door, which leads to living on the streets with broken knee caps and eventually debtors prison. You don't want to end up in debtors prison, do you?

    Live the life of freedom, pay off that debt. :proposetoast:

    It’s not catastrophic, but it’s also not level since I wear my Bedrack, RTT, and recovery gear full time.....another reason I’d like to move, somewhere to store my shit and have good folks near me to help remove and add items when necessary. Most of my good friends have migrated out and I have limited space

    Ok. So Hear me out, 1 are you REALLY asking if you should buy springs instead of paying off some debt? I outta drive to alma right fucking now and smack that shit out of you for that.

    Now you have another option that makes as good of sense as paying off debt. From what I recall, you have three people of driving age in your house, and only one car. The car is what makes the most sense to me. But then comes the fights between the kids of who gets it on a Saturday night. IMO this is the smart choice if you can get it that the two of them pay for insurance and gas. Though I wouldn’t take a loan out on it. Look at what you have to spend and get something in your price range.

    1. I’m not sure I’m going with a 3.0
    2. I want @ColoradoTJ approval
    3. I’ve been talking with Matt and worked a deal on a Deaver pack and if I do it I’ll feel the need to go ADS
    3. I’m in no hurry cuz my BOSS setup is fine until at least June when the trails thaw. That’ll give me enough time to decide where/if I’m moving

    You’re a smart millennial, aren’t you?

    More than likely I will be paying off debt for a bit before I take any hasty leaps, but you’re right....2 of the 3 are driving age. The problem is that neither of them are taking any initiative todo so. I’m not gonna push and unresponsive kid to get in a car before they’re interested. They will not take care of it, just as they haven’t their bikes, snowboards, animals, or much else for that matter.

    Connor, you know I’m a fairly sharp cookie and will do the right thing when it’s time. I almost always do

    It sure does. An inch can ruin a marriage...

    ICONs are a great shock Mark.

    Agreed, though none of them are in the immediate cards. Plenty of time to ponder lots of life choices

    Paying off debt is really what I would suggest, its good to know you dont owe money to anyone. Save up for what you want and in the meantime spend money for whatever the family needs then when you have enough in the bank to get what you want you're not borrowing from anyone, thats what Im doing. My last mod was king shocks all around and it kept me happy for months and Im sure will continue to do so, im not in a rush to get anymore mods, paying off debt and saving money makes life easier.......plus a very happy wife!

    I say do multiple. Split up how spend it. If you think you will be getting a similar bonus every month, why not take a couple hundred and put it aside for the devers and then the rest on debt. Do the same the following month and in three months you can buy the deavers and save paying all the damn interest on the debt.

    Paying off all of my debt was the best thing I ever did. Now every pay check I see my bank account go up rather than worrying about stupid bill payments! Also it gives me peace of mind to know that when I buy something I don’t owe anyone anything or pay extra in interest or fee charges.

    My two cents
