I graduate this summer pending one stupid internship getting assigned to me and by JULY or AUG will be on my way to FLA (I HOPE!) I will be out of MI, its winters and all the other bliss the Midwest has to offer (IT ALL suxed anyway) I am looking at getting my dream bike which is just a tad over 10k total but I will be just shy of it with my grad gift of 10k from g-ma and rents.... My problem is I REAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLY want the bike but not sure if I can afford it so it leads me to two choices. Buckle up and save or say no bike and use the money for other purposes such as truck projects and a few other things....Now just to make it worse I always could purchase the bike and then take a small loan on it for the stuff I absolutely need to purchase/get... I already have money set aside in a trust for a house down payment, I have no credit debt as I have no credit cards, I have an OK budget going and am about to take a job in FL that pays 30/hr. Only have one large problem.....I need to decide weather to purchase the bike by the end of this month or the offer expires and I will be stuck paying the full 19k for it which is WAY to much for my pocket! So what would you do? Only answer this if you have been on a motorcycle or in a similar situation......I am not looking for the usual "give me the money" or other such things.... Thanks, what a nasty "which one to do?" huh!!??!?!! [/QUOTE]
