Where do you get the money for this stuff?

Raise your standards for employees. Might help .

 

I have a side hustle that just pays cash and I spend that on “fun” stuff.

 

Post pics. Wife wants to have a date this weekend.

 

Here I am. Ray "X-Man" Charles. This was me yesterday getting a rusty piece of metal removed from my eye.

 

Damn, guess it won't work. She prefers bald dudes with beer gut (apparently)


Ouch, by the way

 

Yeah that was a fun one. Got metal in my eye Sunday but didn't realize it. Thought I sunburned my eye with a welder. Cue 2 days of painful suffering, so I go into the optometrist. Get the metal out, and use a drill to clean up the rust that had formed.

 

This would be un heard of hear unless inherited.

Would be nice^

 

I make a decent wage for the area I live in wife is my sugar mama. We have no kids an no consumer debt anymore we accumulated from our 20s.
Also sold a butt load of stuff from a collection of sports memorabilia I had.

 

Sucks... I have done the same thing. You don't feel it but it's crazy AF watching them Dremel the rust off your eye.

 

Yep, exactly. None of it hurt during the actual procedure. But later that day, lord help me. Doc told me it was gonna suck too. The hydrocodone didn’t do anything for me, or so it seemed.

 

Did you just quote a country song?

 

No. But now that you mention it. There's bound to be one in there someplace.

 

I was stupid for a while, PayPal credit, Amazon, and discount tire direct all do 0% financing. I loaded em up pretty good, but never went past a term so I never got knocked. I also make a good amount extra if I work weekends so I was just home a little less.

 

Wait. You guys PAY for your mods?

I thought we just took them off other guys trucks when they weren’t looking.

 

I'm rich by most folk's standards since half of America is on gubmint assistance.

 

I do a combination of things. It starts with saving. (I did start with credit, and it sucked) what i did find is that if you build a need/want list .(you learn your needs as you use your rig so most will be wants.)

If you have a savings fund its a lot harder to just spend it. I do savings only now.

However if you have savings and a list and you watch BF sales, ebay, craigslist, and have friends that like to addp/upgrade You can find lower cost and even lightly used great stuff for really good prices.

For example, i read a lot and found a post about a free light bar in exchange for an honest review. So i did it, took a little time but i learned a bit when i did it too.
I picked up a set of 5 used tires (4kish miles) for a great deal. The list goes on.

I also do the installs myself when ever i can. If i don't now how i ask friends that do know. (Pizza, beer, and good conversation goes a long way).

In short it takes time and dicipline for me. I have kids and both my wife and i work, we all like to camp and go offroad. I dont always have the best stuff, but it works. Kids will go off to college soon so that eats into my budget some.

 

trust fund baby

 

I just work my ass off everyday. Pay my bills and whats left goes to the truck. No kids just 5 dogs, they like food is going out of style.I do all my own work so i dont have to pay someone else. Make anything i can to save from paying for someone elses labor cost

 

Just tailgates

 

I bet that was a safe drive home!

Hope you get to keep the eye!
