In hate this
I'm come to the conclusion that there is never enough money to go around Well now I have to set priorities. There's a realy neat old truck I wanted. Well that not going to happen. Of course that $100 set of textbooks I've wanted for the past 3 years. Had to pass up a brand new diamond tread toolbox for $200. And now I find a Goeden self unloading box on a Harms gear for $600. I'm thinking dang the gear alone is worth that. Of course it means that my sewing machine which rolled of the assembly same year the Titanic sank will have to make do for longer as I can't afford a new one. Living expenses are all dealt with now I just have to figure out want I want and/or need the most. That self unloading box would sure make my life nice. Of course a smaller vehcile would not take long to pay for it's self. Need thoughts on this, which holds priority?
Self unloading box on a Harms gear for $600
Diamond tread tool boxes one side for $150 and a cross over for $200
Sewing machine for $225
Text books $50 each X2
Vehicle with better MPG $1500-$2000
I'm working with a $1,600 /month budget

Is this a trick Question?
If you ask me Buy the sewing machine, and sew your A$$ off. Sew a butt load of tees up and sell them to FTE, Buy an Embroidery Machine and do FTE logos for the site. the rest will just work it's self out. After u sell your first Millon to Ken then u can move your biz to mexico and take advantage of cheap Labor.

I wouldn't go with the car unless it really is going to save REAL money. Figure out how many MPG your old car gets and figure out the same for the new car. Then figure cost per mile. Old car=15 MPG, new car=20MPG. 5 MPG difference. With a 20 gallon fill up, you'd go 100 miles more. Assume $3/gallon and you'd spend 60 bucks to fill it up. If you calculate that out, you get 20 cents per mile in the old car and 15 cents per mile for the new car. A savings of 5 cents per mile. A $2000 dollar car would take 40,000 miles to break even or 3 years and 4 months at 12000 miles per year. All numbers are hypothetical, but you get the idea. Of course if you'd be getting rid of a car payment in the process, then I'd say buy the new car.

If you do not have it now, I would not buy anything until I had put at least $1000.00 in to an "emergency expense account" for all those little lifetime occurances that always seem to happen.
