Yet, i dont see a freaking glimer of light at the end of this tunnel. I now have a bronco completely torn down...not worth damn $500 , with a ton more to put in it. Maybe i need to rethink things myself! the stupid soft drinks,stupid freakin smokes,and this expensive freakin games-wheeling included.
It's easy to say "screw it" especially when it seems to happen to you all at once. We all probably have too much invested in our Broncos and this sport, but one way I look at it is that it's money already spent, I know I probably won't get my full investment back out of it, so I am better off keeping it. I figure worse case, if I absolutely had to, I would just park it, remove the tags and insurance so it at least doesn't cost me anything to keep it, that way I wouldn't have to start from scratch when times get better.
AND IT WILL GET BETTER DAMN IT!!
I know it sucks having a bunch of pieces and list of more stuff to buy just to get it back on the trail, been there-done that, at times it just doesn't seem possible or even worth the effort. But sometimes you just have to let it go and take care of the important things now, and just wait until you are back on track and can get back to enjoying the fun things again.
Now quitting the smokes and cutting back on the soft drinks and other "extra crap" is a good place to start. I've been brown bagging lunch to work and don't go out to eat for dinner and it has really helped the wallet.
Who knows Chuck, you might be able to get that lower insurance rate as a non-smoker :biggthumpup:
Hang in there guys - - and gals
