Man, I'm willing to make sacrifices to get that debt off your back. When I paid my car off, it was one of the best feelings in the world. I was able to pay more on other bills and save a little here and there. I hated when my car broke down that I had to get another car, but thru saving I was able to get a car and on track to pay it off in 3 years instead of 5 which is :whew: Then I'm hoping to have most of my debt will be paid off in the next 3 years. I might splurge and get a motorcycle but if I do I'm paying cash for it. But after that, it's back to saving.

i'd rather pop bottles and spend that money on going out / networking, end up landing a way better job , confidence thru tha roof, and enjoying myself, but hey...... to each his own :yeshrug:

You'd rather pop bottles than be debt free? :usure:

:shaq:



They got us conditioned bruh. shyt is really slavery
Yeah I have owned one before and said I wasn't going to get another one until I got my bills paid off. And that would be another way to save money because the days I don't have to take my daughter to school or whatever, I can ride the bike to work and save gas that way. I want a 2008-2010 Kawasaki ZX-10R, but if I find a good deal on something or find that I'm more comfortable on another bike I'm getting that.

He wasnt

He spent 1300 on rent, utilities, and other living expenses

1300 rent only in atl is a palace

I spend that in rent and utilities (no other living expenses) in downtown seattle

Wouldn't it be nice for everyone to graduate and make 50K right from the jump?

Show me a cat who is busting it, working 2 jobs just trying to make ends meet on their own, tackling down 27-30K and I will be impressed.

U not gonna save gas on a liter bike bruh. Them shyts drink gas like a Corolla

A little 600 though? You will prob get like 50MPG easy. I have a 650 now and I get 40 MPG pretty much all city. I want to get a Ducati if we leave NYC.
Well, that's still better than my Impala that I'm driving in now. Now which Ducati did you want to get if you left NYC?

Higher education is a scam. Dunno why people so scared of saying it out loud.
