buster moneybags
guess what? ive come into some money. maybe not come into some money, more along the lines of, dont have to pay rent anymore in boston. this means i have $850 more in my pocket every month from here on out. given that im making more than i ever did at the bank, and my cost of living is way down, this translates into some substantial savings over the next however long. wait, did you say savings? are you kidding? im already plotting the best way i can blow it, but i need some help. here are the options:
1) wheels: i need a new car. if anyone has seen my car youd know this. i have two in mind. the first is dad's 300zx convertible. its red. its fun. its got low miles. it is unreasonable, but not so unreasonable that i wouldnt buy it. he is moving next year and wants me to buy it from him. cost: $5000ish. the other option is a bit more unreasonable, a saturn sky. its fun, it can be whatever color i want. it will be new. also means more financing and interest and blah. cost: $25,000ish.
2) european vacation: im thinking the uk, france, germany, and austria. i have no idea what it will cost, but im thinking somewhere between $5000 and $10,000. if that seems high to some of you, what can i say, i like to do it right. if that seems low to some of you, what the hell type of vacations do you go on? of course, europe isnt going anywhere and i can do this at any point really. the car is beating out europe at the moment.
3) bad ass aerobatic flying: i can guarantee you that this will happen as early as this fall. i need to go fly upside down a bunch and do rolls and loops and hammerheads and a bunch of crazy stuff that no one else will ever want to do with me. ultimately i want to teach this stuff, so i should probably start doing this soon. cost: $2000 to $5000, depending on how far i want to get into it.
4) Cessna 140: yup, an airplane. the 140 is a postwar Cessna, two seats, cruises at 100kts, taildragger, and beautiful. ive been shopping for one already albeit a bit premature. id love to have something that i can take out to the vineyard or up to nh or someplace whenever i want. its old enough where it looks like a classic but is still completely functional. ive seen the prices as low as $15,000, as high as $36,000, i figure id spend somewhere in the low to mid 20's on it. no financing here either, id have to pay cash, so this is at least three years away.
so there ya go. those are my choices. thoughts? comments? donations? all are welcome.
in other news, my sister got a dog. my boss is getting a dog in the next few weeks. things are good.
