Alabama thread!

here you go @cubie and @JBTacoma see the actual "pull" off the back of Jeff's samurai is only about 10deg off from being straight back which means about 80deg off from being straight sideways, therefore it is more "backwards" than it is "sideways"

 

Yes! All in a nutshell. I want some skids for my truck, but it's going to be another 4-5 weeks when I have the money to drop on some skids. Cam is playing football, Coop is in band and playing baseball. Sports cost some damn money, let me tell ya.

 

I am going to date myself here but Dave Ramsey was but just a local guy teaching stuff when I was a teen and early adult. He wasn't on the national level he is now if he were I probably wouldn't of put myself in the situation I did. I will say I am making less than I ever have in my life today and yet I have more money than I ever have. Hell my daughter is almost 6 and I've got the first 2 yrs of a major university saved up for her.

I started working when I was about 10. Work ethic is instilled in my family from day one. There are no slackers and if you are then no inheritance for you, there is no free lunch in my family.

 

@stronghammer, @JBTacoma does have a point. Have 3 kids and then come back and bump this conversation back up!

 

kids are a ways away, wife is first.

 

Sometimes, it's the other way around. True facts! lol

 

My kid wants a Buggy

 

Oh Lord! lol Let's start off with a used 2020 Tacoma first! lol

 

I'm like you in that regard Tanner lol. The only time I don't use CC is when I have recently sold something for cash. I then use that cash for say a Taco Bell purchase when I know I'm about to pay off my credit card or whatever, because something inside my brain is wired to not like making purchases on the CC when I'm within a couple days paying it off because I don't want to pay it off and then the very next day have an amount because of the delay of purchases showing up lol. that really only makes sense in my head...

 

According to your drawing he will pull me right back into the rock behind me, the same rock I needed winched sideways to avoid.
lol, we will just say in your mind you are right so you will be able to sleep tonight.

 

That's why I read and listen to many different financial investor and adviser types. Only one I can't get on board with is this woman my sister told me about she thinks an emergency fund is part of your retirement and if your house needs a roof borrow from it. I can't get on board with her. Most others I kinda use a hodgepodge of different ideas to form something that works best for my needs and situation.

 

Troof!!!!!!

 

lol no, according to my drawing you will shift 10 degrees to the side...enough to get you away from the rock, but still majority backwards as to allow you not to be climbing the incline directly in front of you and so you can make the turn.

 

I just have one and don't know how ya'll do it with multiple but then again single dad scenario.

 

I bet there are one or two other people to say that had kids nine months later

 

It's tough man, I can't imagine being a single father, with 3 kids! Kids will change who you are. True facts!

 

same as @cubie said.

Don't eat out for lunch every meal, I have only ate out for lunch from my own pocket 1 time in the past 2 years I've worked here. I bring lunch every day.

Don't eat out for dinner every day either, seriously groceries are cheap, even if you're not a chef most warehouse and grocery stores have premade "good" dinners you can pop on the stove or in the oven. These dinners are also generally fresh since they sell them so quickly. Think, costco, publix, sams.

Drink water religiously, it saves you at least 2-4 dollars every time you go out.

So on and so forth you build habits, honestly I can find something to do or needs to be done around the house and kill a weekend day as well and avoid blowing a ton of money.

I generally work 6 days a week, so i also don't have much time to blow money.

 

So you just said I need to be pulled to the side to avoid the rock, pulling me backwards would pull me into the rock smh

 

I already said it was "slightly" to the side, but more-so backwards...as I said from the get-go.

again, an example of you arguing just to argue hahaha
