godwhomismike Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 I agree with coxx - save the money instead of dropping it down on wheels. IF anything, new tires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coxx Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I appreciate all your concerns but I know how to manage my money... I have a job, I have money coming in everyday. Why is it that if I were older it would be okay for me to spend money on something like wheels? It's not to do with age but I'll go out on a limb & say if you were older you'd most likely have already saved up for the important stuff before spending on luxuries, that's all. I'd give the same advice to someone 28 years old. I dunno, I'm also cheap so don't go by me I Coxx you soud like my wife:lol: Literally. I had this discussion about wheels and a vacation last week. :lol: I'd say vacation > wheels IMO. I got my wheels cheap from our really nice pal PGT though. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

V4LG7 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I agree with coxx - save the money instead of dropping it down on wheels. IF anything, new tires. New tires? I don't have the re92s. Anyway...I'm going on vacation in June but I'm just going to my house in another country so I won't have any expenses. Coxx, I really do appreciate your concern. You probably do know better than me, and are probably right about saving my money. Maybe I'll just paint my stockers black...who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JessterCPA Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 such as you? Nah, I gotta agree with Jesse here Val. I didn't wanna get on your case like I'm your parents or something but there's smarter things to do with the $$ I'm not a Certified Financial Planner, so that's not my thing. BUt I do see how people with un-managed money can squander it away, and with a little planning, they can be at a tremendous advantage. Val, let me know if you would like some help finding an advisor. I have some very good people I speak with. It would be even more important if you were older. In finance, time is everything. The younger you are, the more power you have to shape your financial future. I used to have a lot of money in the bank, then I got married.

laz Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 To be young and naive! The things I would do different! Listen to these guys. Maybe put it on a CD for 6 months, and after that decide if you really want new wheels? The stockers are not that bad looking. Vacation in my book always comes first. Nothing like decompressing. If you get brand new expensive wheels, you'll cringe on your first curb rash. After the second or third, you just don't give a f*ck about them anymore.

V4LG7 Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I don't have any expenses right now..and probably won't until I get out of college (loans). Ya know what? In spite I think I'll get the Grids. Hey, at least I'm not like Subiecity spending 6k on my 2.5i...especially on useless things like a radiator plate. You guys are killing me...

laz Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 yup yup! I have gone through many set of wheels on different cars, and it never fails! Look into ebay as well, or over on NASIOC FS thread. Sorry to suggest not to spend your money, but Ig uess what we are all trying to say is spend it wisely! We are not older for no reason! Now to check my bank account and see if I got a big deposit as well...mine is going to a big shinny rock that is being demmanded out of me!

coxx Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Your call Val. I'm just sayin I have a whole buncha friends that bought silly things like gold chains, rolex's, cars they couldn't afford. All b/c they had a little extra cash 10 years ago. Now we're all 30 & these same guys have since sold the jewelry & watches & cars for significant losses just to pay other bills. They also still live at home with mom & dad b/c they got no money to move out. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!

I went to work straight outta HS. I bounced around a few jobs till I ended up at my job now when I was 21. I got a good 3 year head start on people & I worked my way up the ladder. Nothing wrong with that. College aint for everyone. I know alot of people who didn't go to college & did other go-nowhere jobs. I also know alot of people who went to college & thought they were "entitled" to high paying jobs right out the gate. It's all about what works for you. "Barack Obama, mothaf#%@a! Barack Obama!
